It will be grey after nitriding. 8)
im not entirely sure this is possible but that think would like awesome anodized 8) .
:roll:
is nitriding the same as anodizing ?
:uhoh:
Anodizing is for coating aluminium in a chosen colour. Nitride coating isn't for cosmetics, it's to make the surface of the material harder. I won't be painting the disc rim when it's done. The disc centre is going to have a candy red spiral painted on with skulls airbrushed into it, then the hole disc will be lacured.
That sounds an awesome paint job :)
I want to get Satanix fully painted simaler to Hooligan, need to get it running first :)
Is Tom Armitage doing your sprial perchance ? ;)
Sounds good :). Just one thing though - we tried laquering one of our robots, and it looked terrible as soon as it got lightly scrateched - tell to just laquer the spiral bit :proud:
Would just like to say thanks to whoever voted 360 as the overall best engineered robot for 2009. Ive genuinely got no idea who you are- So thanks! :) Thanks to all the help from ;
Ed Wallace- Grange Square engineering - CNC work
Andrew Kenworthy- ALK engineering - Heavy duty CNC work
Grant, James and Nick Cooper- Priory Castors and Robochallenge - Workshop use and a few odd bits of machine work.
And Tony from http://www.titanium.com - Materials
360 wouldnt be possible without them.
Update on progress coming soon!
Look forward to seeing it go with the new disc kenny made - saw it at the weekend and it looks pretty nice :proud:
and a few odd bits of machine work :rofl: more hours in that than ploughbot lol....
