        abstract = {This study focusses on optimizing powder coating parameters and compares the effects of single and dual coatings on mild steel, emphasizing the significance of dry film thickness. Key parameters under consideration include curing temperature, application technique, dry film thickness (DFT) and Coating Process Parameters. By systematically varying these parameters, the aim is to identify optimal conditions that enhance adhesion, durability, and overall coating performance. Standardized testing methods are employed to evaluate both single and dual coating systems in terms of corrosion resistance, abrasion, and impact. In this study we are findings that dual coating performance over the single coating, to achieve greater dry film thickness (DFT) and improved long-term durability. Optimal conditions for dual coating are characterized by elevated curing temperatures and increased dry film thickness (DFT) result in enhanced adhesion and resistance to environmental degradation. In contrast, single coatings, while effective for less demanding applications, demonstrate limitations in protective capabilities over time. This study underscores the importance of optimizing powder coating processes to achieve desired dry film thickness, which is crucial for ensuring longevity and effectiveness. The insights gained will serve as a valuable resource for industries aiming to improve the performance of mild steel applications through advanced powder coating technologies.},
