Steel Surface Preparation Steps:
1. Marking: Define the area where carbon fiber sheets are to be applied.
2. Grinding: Grind the marked steel surface to achieve flatness and remove rust or oxides. Begin with coarse sandpaper to smooth the surface, applying even pressure. Finish with fine sandpaper in a cross-grinding pattern.
3. Cleaning: Use cotton balls soaked in alcohol or acetone to clean the application area, eliminate contaminants, and allow it to dry completely.
4. Adhesive Application: Prepare carbon fiber adhesive and evenly apply it to the steel substrate using a brush.
5. Carbon Fiber Sheet Installation: Place the carbon fiber sheet onto the steel substrate. Ensure the adhesive fully penetrates the sheet, allowing excess adhesive to overflow. Remove air bubbles and guarantee a smooth, bubble-free application.
6. Curing and Maintenance: Once fully cured, apply flame retardant and anti-corrosion coatings to enhance protection.
