Well-made anodes are critical to any plating process as they: extend bath life; have less metallic contamination; produce parts without roughness; and require less maintenance.
Managing hazardous wastes at a metal finishing plant is a very resource-intensive activity. For operations generating a significant amount of hazardous by-products, it might be wise to look at a...
Successful implementation of transitional metal conversions can save both time and money—but only if the processes are executed properly.
3C Technology has developed—and proposed for commercial applications—a method for electroplating titanium alloys in the form of a coating on plastic and carbon foams.
Barbara Kanegsberg and Ed Kanegsberg Ph.D., a.k.a the “Cleaning Lady and the Rocket Scientist,” discuss both the positive and negative aspects of metal cleaning and surface preparation.
In order to solve the problems that exist in traditional multi-stage phosphating, a novel coating system was developed by predispersing an optimum amount of in-situ phosphating reagent into the paint...
