A comprehensive analysis of vibration and noise reduction with titanium/epoxy modified composite coating over steel sample
摘要
This research aimed to examine the vibration and noise damping capabilities of conventional deposits of epoxy and titanium/epoxy composites coatings on steel samples, focusing on the marine engineering environment. Steel structures are frequently exposed to harsh conditions and vibrations, so an effective damping coating is essential to avoid this. The developed Coatings' microscopic structures were studied with an optical stereo microscope. Scanning electrode microscopy (SEM) studied surface morphology, showing that the titanium/epoxy coated had a smoother, crack-free coating. Again, the optical stereo microscope is used to identify the surface effect after stress–strain test over epoxy and titanium/epoxy in air and a 3.5% NaCl environment, simulating marine conditions. The result shows that titanium/epoxy coating has fewer stress signs. Using experimental modal analysis, the vibration and noise-damping capacities were compared between uncoated steel, epoxy-coated steel, and titanium/epoxy-coated steel. The results show that the conventionally deposited modified titanium/epoxy composite coating on steel has improved vibration and noise damping; this highlights its potential for marine engineering applications.
