What does fusion typically involve?

Fusion typically involves forced heat curing, where heat is applied to create a chemical or physical bond between materials. In the context of coatings, fusion is often associated with the melting and combining of coating materials at elevated temperatures, allowing them to bond together effectively. This process ensures that the coatings achieve the desired properties such as durability, adhesion, and finish quality.

In coatings, forced heat curing promotes the development of cross-linking within the polymer structure, which enhances the mechanical properties and resistance to environmental factors. Fusion processes are essential in creating high-performance coatings that can withstand various conditions after they solidify.

Other options regarding the application of water or adhesives, high-pressure applications, and ambient temperature applications do not encompass the concept of fusion effectively. Each of those methods pertains to different processes or techniques in coating applications that do not involve the specific heat-based fusion process.
