Optimization of Surface Cleaning and Painting Methods for DIC Measurements on Automotive and Railway Aluminum Materials

The preparatory operations of DIC (Digital Image Correlation) tests were investigated in this study, with special emphasis on specimen cleaning and painting operations. As it is well known, are non-contact applied materials research, the analysis complex structures, and, nowadays, construction industry. use technologies has seen a dynamic increase all scientific fields. In our aluminum body panels for automotive railway applications tested using technique. There many articles proper patterning literature but fewer preparation priming. These critical successful measurement. This paper looks at different surface cleaners primers grading procedures will also determine time window within which paint should be applied. Finally, GOM ARAMIS system was to measure characterize painted visible deformation defects resulting from inadequate painting.
