How to prevent corrosion of mining electric locomotives?

Date:2022-04-23

Although mining electric locomotives are not as delicate as precision equipment, they also require our daily care. In addition to the daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the details of each part, the most important maintenance of the electric locomotive is to prevent rust. The electric locomotive has been used for a long time, and it is easy to rust due to wind, sun, scratches and collisions. Here are some suggestions for rust prevention of electric locomotives:

First of all, if the paint surface of the manufacturer is relatively soft, it is recommended to seal or coat the body of the electric locomotive, which can effectively protect the paint surface and improve its hardness. The bottom of the electric locomotive can be treated with plastic sealing, which not only protects the original protective layer, but also reduces the damage caused by the impact of gravel during driving. (The unit of paint surface hardness is H, the paint surface hardness of common paint is 2H, and the hardness of dust particles in daily life has reached 6H)

Secondly, no matter how we protect it, after using it for a long time, the electric locomotive will always lose the paint surface due to the wind and the sun, scratches and collisions, or even the crushed stones that are hit by the driving. When we find these small damages, we should deal with them in time, especially when these small damages are near important parts such as the engine.

If the electric locomotive is parked outdoors for a short time, it is not recommended to cover the car. Because the wind and rain will cause the car cover to repeatedly scratch and beat the paint surface, especially if there is sand and gravel blown into the car cover. In addition, it is best to use water to wash the gravel on the body, which can effectively prevent the gravel from scratching the paint surface under the driving of the rag.

Finally, we should pay attention to the moisture problem of electric locomotives. Due to the working environment of the electric locomotive and the weather, the body of the electric locomotive and other places are prone to stagnant water. After the wind and rain or there is water on the working route, it is best to clean the inside and outside of the body in time to avoid rust after the work is completed.

The above is a little suggestion on the rust prevention of electric locomotives.
