    Faraday and It's Uses

    The document explains the Faraday cage effect which occurs when electrostatically spraying charged powder particles onto a grounded workpiece. The charged particles follow electric field lines from the spray gun's high voltage electrode to the workpiece, depositing unevenly where the field lines concentrate. Cavities, holes, and corners act as Faraday cages because few field lines reach their interiors, leaving those areas with little coating. Newer spray systems without high voltages or field lines can coat complex geometries more evenly by charging particles through triboelectricity rather than following electric fields.

    THE FAMOUS FARADAY CAGE EFFECT: AN EXPLANATION


    Everybody has heard of 'the faraday cage problem'. Very few people really know what
    it is. Here we have tried to explain in a layman's language what this so-called Faraday Cage
    problem is, what causes it and what its effects are. We have not gone into the very technical
    languages and theories.
    A conventional spray gun has a high voltage electrode built into the spray tube,
    generally near the powder outlet opening. Once the gun is approximated to the work piece to
    be coated which is obviously grounded / earthed these field lines will go in the direction of the
    work piece and be concentrated to the nearest point.
    1.

    On a flat piece the field lines end evenly


    and concentrate more to the centre than the
    exterior.

    2.

    On a shaped surfaced the field lines will


    concentrate at the nearest point
    as
    explained earlier. The further away the
    fewer
    field
    lines
    deepending the
    reaching it.

    3.

    If there are field lines most powder


    (like
    particles will follow these lines
    cars on a road) and become deposited on
    the piece where the field lines end. This
    can be seen here. Whoever painted the
    piece like this has got an extremely uneven
    coating.

    4.

    Any type of cavity, hole, corner is


    therefore a faraday cage.

    5.

    The last figure shows a relatively uncomplicated faraday. However, in any position, the
    gun will always be further away from the corner than the sides. Hence, the inside
    corners will always be difficult to coat evenly. If one keeps spraying powder the inside
    corners will eventually get coated. In such a case however the sides will be coated with
    a very thick coating.

    6.

    Hence we can say that the faraday cage is caused because no field lines end in the
    inside corners / deepening. This is just partially true. In addition we have an extremely
    high concentration of field lines around the inside corners/ deepening from which there
    resulted a neutral zone in the corner, which even will repel the few powder particles
    reaching the corner.

    7.

    People feel that higher the high voltage of a gun the better will be the charging of the
    powder particle. This is just part of the truth. From a low high voltage gun with high
    transfer efficiency a better powder charge can result than from a gun with a high
    voltage and low transfer efficiency. And higher the voltage, stronger the field lines and
    worse the faraday cage.

    8.

    So, most users reduce high voltage when coating shaped articles. But this creates the
    problem of an insufficient charge resulting in excess overspray and powder deposition
    on surfaces situated under the gun. In case of automatic guns, anyway it will be useless
    to do so due to their fixed positions.

    9.

    If you take the gun too near the work piece to coat a shaped articled or to coat corners
    and cavities, there will be an over potential of field lines, the voltage will
    automatically breakdown and the amperage will increase resulting in the problems
    described in point 8.

    10.

    Do we need field lines?


    No Definitely not: field lines are a result of the high voltage electrodes required for
    charging the powder. The powder adheres to a work piece due to its opposite charging
    potential, not due to field lines: This is proved by the TRIBO system, which has no
    high voltage, and hence no field lines. With the TRIBO systems, there are no field lines
    and hence no faradays cage. This means easier coating of interiors and shaped surface
    and smoother working because of the charging level remaining constant.
