Michigan NASF Golf Outing Is May 29

The 2015 Michigan NASF Golf Outing will take place May 29 at The Golf Club at Thornapple Pointe in Grand Rapids.

The event is broken into threecategories:

The "Traditional" ticket is part of a four-person scramble with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start, a boxed lunch, a mixed grille dinner, two drink tickets and a door prize gift pack. Tickets are $120 each.

The "Pro Tour" ticket is $130, and allows golfers to test their skills against the area's best golfers. It includes a two-person best-ball skins game, an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start, a box lunch, a door prize and a $1,000 prize purse. This event is limited to 36 golfers.

The "Dinner" is $50 per ticket, and includes a mixed grille dinner and two drink tickets, plus five 50/50 tickets.

All golf events include a GPS navigation system, free driving rnge, and closest-to-the-pin and long drive contests, plus tickets to the 50/50 raffle.

Smart Modeling and Simulation of Electroplating Systems for Real-Time Monitoring of Chemical, Water and Energy Consumption (NASF Summer Research Grant)

An AESF Foundation summer research grant provided an excellent opportunity for a PhD student to learn how to use chemical engineering fundamentals to scientifically characterize an electroplating process through integrated dynamic modeling and simulation, and how to develop digital twin (DT)-based virtual plant that can be of any process configuration. This is a critical step for the investigation of new technology development for smart and sustainable manufacturing in the surface finishing industry.
Non-PFAS Wetting Agents for Decorative Chromium(VI) Plating

This article is based on a presentation given at NASF SUR/FIN 2022, in Rosemont, Illinois, in Session 6, Responses to PFAS / PFOA. It follows the case study of three facilities’ conversion from PFAS-containing wetting agents to non-PFAS equivalents, eliminating PFAS and moving forward with a smaller and more sustainable environmental footprint. The journey of conversion from PFAS-containing wetting agents in both chromic-sulfuric etch and hexavalent decorative plating tanks can be complicated and winding due to deep rooted standard industry practices, as well as state and federal regulations. Outlined here is a clear course of action that led to eliminating PFAS from the facilities’ wetting agent strategies.
Hexavalent-Chromium-Free Aluminum Sacrificial Paint Validation

Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen, repro-toxin and mutagen. Its elimination is of high importance to the aerospace industry, which has struggled to find high performing alternatives. Legacy aluminum sacrificial paints have traditionally utilized hexavalent chromium to prevent corrosion and coatings which are equal to or better than have been difficult. This second of two papers discusses the hexavalent-chromium-free process from the user point-of-view in terms of the process validation work by Rolls Royce Corporation.
