Blasting & Coating
Blasting and coating processes prepare and protect the metal surfaces of battery enclosures, busbars, and structural pack components against corrosion and chemical attack. As a hard skill it requires selecting abrasive blast media appropriate for aluminum and steel substrates, specifying coating systems rated for electrolyte and thermal-cycling exposure, and verifying adhesion with standardized pull-off tests. Production engineers apply these techniques when qualifying pack enclosure suppliers, setting corrosion-protection specifications on structural steel modules, and establishing inspection criteria for coated components entering final assembly.
