Painting covering up hardmark
Painting covering up hardmark
(OP)
Hi all,
The drawing calls up hardmarking the part number with ministress stamps. However we are finding the hardmark gets covered up when painting.
Anyone know how we can stop this happening? Only thing I can think of is using larger ministress stamps which punch deeper. Or using a marker pen to reinstate the part number after painting.
Any advice greatly recieved.

It is being sprayed:
Primer: 125microns thick
Finish: 125microns thick
Possibility could be to mask off the primed surface and not put the finish in that area. Its on an external face so want it to look presentable though.
We dont want to label at this level as we have a label on the top assy.
What would a machined part no involve? Is this vibro etch?
Cheers,
Rich

This may be what you mean by marker pen but you may be able to do a bit better.
