Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal material processing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and computer-readable storage medium for detecting metal sheet coating processes. Background Technology
[0002] Coating defects such as pinholes, blistering, and cracking that occur after printing on metal sheets affect coating quality and product performance. Among these, pinhole defects are closely related to surface contaminants, surface morphology, and the coating film-forming process. Existing technologies typically use dyne pen testing to evaluate the printing compatibility of metal sheets with coatings. While this method provides the surface tension value, it struggles to characterize the dynamic processes of coating spread, flow, and curing under actual printing conditions. Furthermore, existing methods lack effective detection and correlation analysis tools for the influence of micron-sized particles, moisture, oil stains, and other contaminants on the metal sheet surface, as well as surface roughness and profile parameters, on pinhole formation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for evaluating the printing compatibility of coatings on metal sheet surfaces to achieve a more accurate assessment of the sheet surface condition and the formation process of coating defects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the evaluation of the adaptability of metal sheet printing mainly relies on static methods such as dyne pens and contact angle tests, which makes it difficult to simultaneously take into account surface wettability, surface microstructure, distribution of contaminant particles and characterization of the dynamic evolution process of pinholes.
[0004] This invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for detecting coating processes on metal sheets, thereby enabling effective evaluation of the coating adaptability of metal sheets and improving the ability to predict coating quality and pinhole defects. To achieve the above objectives, this invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, a method for detecting the coating process of metal sheets is provided, comprising: cutting a target metal sheet into a specified size and recording the product information of the target metal sheet; using a droplet shape analyzer to drop a predetermined volume of paint droplets onto the surface of the target metal sheet, measuring the contact angle parameters of the paint droplets on the surface of the target metal sheet, and determining the wettability and liquid film stability of the paint on the sheet surface; using a white light interferometer or profilometer to measure the three-dimensional profile of the surface of the target metal sheet, and observing the surface morphology in conjunction with a scanning electron microscope to obtain the corresponding roughness parameters; and imaging the surface of the target metal sheet under predetermined illumination conditions to identify the particle size and quantity of surface particles or impurities. The system collects and analyzes the distribution information, and determines whether the surface cleanliness of the plate meets the preset conditions based on the identification results. A polyester coating of a predetermined thickness is applied to the surface of the target metal plate. The formation and evolution of pinholes after coating are photographed, and parameters such as the number, area, and location of pinholes at different times are extracted and statistically analyzed. Target pinholes are selected from the pinholes, and three-dimensional scanning is performed using a laser confocal microscope.

This includes: analyzing the coating thickness variation at the edge of the crater according to the coating thickness field, and analyzing the abnormal fluorescence enhancement phenomenon in the central region and its correspondence with micron-sized particles to determine the spatial correspondence between the crater and the contaminant particles.

[0020] This application provides a method for detecting the coating process of metal sheets. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This figure is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of this application. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 The first embodiment of this application provides a detailed description of a detection method 100 for a metal sheet coating process.
[0021] This application provides a method for detecting the coating process of metal sheets. The method may include the following steps: Step S102: Cut the target metal sheet into specified dimensions and record the product information of the target metal sheet. For example, during the sample preparation and pretreatment process, select representative metal sheet samples (including primary materials, secondary materials, chrome-plated materials, etc.) and cut them into specified dimensions. Record information such as sample number, production batch, and storage time (validity period in days).
[0022] Step S104: Using a droplet shape analyzer, a predetermined volume of paint droplets is dropped onto the surface of the target metal sheet. The contact angle parameters of the paint droplets on the surface of the target metal sheet are measured to determine the wettability of the paint to the sheet surface and the stability of the liquid film.
[0023] Step S106: Measure the three-dimensional profile of the target metal plate surface using a white light interferometer or profilometer, observe the surface morphology using a scanning electron microscope, and obtain the corresponding roughness parameters.
[0024] Step S108: Under predetermined illumination conditions, image the surface of the target metal plate, identify the particle size, quantity and distribution information of surface particles or impurities, and determine whether the surface cleanliness of the plate meets the preset conditions based on the identification results.
[0025] Step S110: Apply a coating of a predetermined thickness to the surface of the target metal sheet, and photograph the formation and evolution of pinholes after coating. Extract and statistically analyze the parameters of the number, area, and location of pinholes at different times. For example, during the dynamic imaging of the simulated coating and film-forming process, a coating machine can be used to apply a coating of a specific thickness to the surface of the metal sheet sample. The sample is transported to the detection area via a conveyor roller, and the formation and evolution of pinholes after coating is photographed in real time using a high-speed / high-resolution camera. The continuous image sequence is input into an image recognition program to extract and statistically analyze the parameters of the number, area, and location of pinholes at different times. In this embodiment, detecting the dynamic behavior of pinholes after coating can provide excellent technical support for subsequent process adjustments.
[0026] Step S112: Select the target cavities from the cavities, perform three-dimensional scanning using a laser confocal microscope, reconstruct the coating thickness field based on the fluorescence intensity distribution, and determine the spatial correspondence between the cavities and the contaminant particles. Step S114: Evaluate the printing and coating adaptability of the target metal sheet and the coating based on the contact angle parameter, roughness parameter, particulate matter or impurity distribution information, dynamic statistical results of shrinkage defects, and spatial correspondence between shrinkage and contaminant particles.
[0027] In some embodiments, a predetermined volume of paint droplets is dropped onto the surface of a target metal sheet using a droplet shape analyzer. The contact angle parameters of the paint droplets on the target metal sheet surface are measured to determine the wettability of the paint and the sheet surface and the stability of the liquid film. This includes: dropping a predetermined volume of paint droplets onto the surface of the target metal sheet using a droplet shape analyzer, measuring the static contact angle of the paint droplets on the target metal sheet surface, then tilting the target metal sheet at a predetermined angle, recording the droplet advance / retreat process, extracting the advance angle, retreat angle, and hysteresis angle, and determining the solid-liquid contact line pinning strength and liquid film flowability; judging from the test results and preset thresholds, if the wettability or pinning performance deviates from the predetermined threshold range, it is determined that there is a risk of printing and coating adaptability. Typically, during the paint wettability test (static / dynamic contact angle), a certain volume of paint droplets can be dropped onto the sample surface using a droplet shape analyzer, the static contact angle can be measured, and the affinity between the paint and the sheet surface can be evaluated. The sample stage is tilted at a set angle, and the droplet's advance / retreat process is recorded. The advance angle, retreat angle, and hysteresis angle are extracted to evaluate the solid-liquid contact line pinning strength and liquid film flowability. Based on the test results and preset thresholds, if the wettability or pinning performance deviates significantly from the suitable range, a preliminary assessment indicates a risk to printing and coating adaptability.
[0028] In some embodiments, a white light interferometer or profilometer is used to measure the three-dimensional profile of the target metal sheet surface, and the surface morphology is observed using a scanning electron microscope to obtain corresponding roughness parameters. This includes: analyzing the relationship between the roughness parameters of the target metal sheet surface and the pinning effect of the solid-liquid contact line; and determining the relationship between the surface roughness of the sheet and liquid film stability and shrinkage defects based on the roughness parameters. For example, during the surface morphology and roughness testing of the sheet, a white light interferometer or profilometer can be used to measure the three-dimensional profile of the sample surface to obtain roughness parameters such as Ra, Rz, RSm, and Rsk, and the surface morphology and main elemental composition can be observed using a scanning electron microscope. The relationship between roughness and wettability, pinning effect, and the influence of sheet surface roughness on liquid film stability and shrinkage defects can be analyzed.
[0029] In some embodiments, under predetermined illumination conditions, the surface of the target metal sheet is imaged to identify the particle size, quantity, and distribution information of surface particles or impurities. Based on the identification results, it is determined whether the surface cleanliness of the sheet meets preset conditions. This includes: illuminating the surface of the target metal sheet with a surface defect inspection lamp of a predetermined wavelength in a darkroom, and acquiring images using a camera device; identifying the particle size, distribution location, and quantity of particles based on the acquired images, comparing them with preset particle control standards, and determining whether the target metal sheet needs repeated cleaning. For example, during the surface particle imaging and identification process, under darkroom conditions, the surface of the sheet is illuminated with a surface defect inspection lamp of a specific wavelength, and a high-contrast surface image is acquired using a camera device. An image recognition program is used to process the image, performing filtering, threshold segmentation, connected component labeling, etc., to identify the particle size, distribution location, and quantity; then, the above data is compared with preset particle control standards to determine whether repeated cleaning or enhanced filtration / dust prevention measures are needed.
[0030] In some embodiments, a target crater is selected from the craters, and a three-dimensional scan is performed using a laser confocal microscope. The coating thickness field is reconstructed based on the fluorescence intensity distribution to determine the spatial correspondence between the craters and contaminant particles. This includes: analyzing the coating thickness variation at the crater edge based on the coating thickness field, and analyzing the abnormal fluorescence enhancement phenomenon in the central region and its correspondence with micron-sized particles to determine the spatial correspondence between the craters and contaminant particles. For example, in the testing process for detecting the microscopic three-dimensional morphology of craters, a typical area of the crater is selected, and a three-dimensional scan is performed using a laser confocal microscope. The coating thickness field is reconstructed using the fluorescence intensity distribution. The correlation between the coating thickness variation at the crater edge, the abnormal fluorescence enhancement in the central region, and micron-sized particles is analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy is used to analyze whether matrix elements (such as Fe) are exposed at the center of the crater to confirm the spatial correspondence between the craters and contaminant particles. Figure 2 An example of partial pinhole recognition effect is shown.
[0031] In some embodiments, the method further includes: establishing an evaluation level for the adaptability of the target metal sheet to the coating based on the roughness parameters, surface morphology, particle quantity and distribution, number of pinholes, area and evolution law. For example, in adaptability evaluation and feedback judgment, an evaluation level or pass / fail judgment standard for the adaptability of the metal sheet to the coating can be established based on multi-dimensional data, such as wettability and liquid film stability (static / dynamic contact angle), roughness and surface morphology, particle quantity and distribution, number of pinholes, area and evolution law, and three-dimensional microstructure of pinholes. When the number and area of pinholes are below a certain threshold, it is judged as "suitable"; otherwise, it is "high risk". If it is high risk, feedback is given to the production site to improve filtration and dust removal levels, strengthen surface cleaning and online inspection, and control the storage time and packaging method of secondary materials.
[0032] In some embodiments, the product information includes product number, production batch, and storage time.
[0033] Table 1 below shows the data obtained from the testing and evaluation of the coating process for secondary cold-rolled tin-plated and chrome-plated sheets using the above test methods, and from simulated printing and coating.

Specifically, Product information module 302 is used to cut the target metal sheet into a specified size and record the product information of the target metal sheet.
[0035] The coating wettability and liquid film stability testing module 304 is used to drop a predetermined volume of coating droplets onto the surface of the target metal plate using a droplet shape analyzer, measure the contact angle parameters of the coating droplets on the surface of the target metal plate, and determine the wettability and liquid film stability of the coating and the plate surface.
