A Design Study in Aluminum Castings - GM Cylinder Block                                          

Option B -- Spray Coating

Spray coating is not the best method for coating the cylinder block foam cluster. 

  • It will be difficult to develop uniform and complete coating coverage in all the internal passages of the cluster. 

  • Spraying will take longer than dipping. 

  • The cylinder block foam cluster is sturdy enough to be coated by dipping.

Spraying is not the preferred coating approach.
