Yes, We Have a PF App for That!

When we started tinkering with the idea of creating a smart phone app for Products Finishing magazine readers, we didn’t want it to be just a way to repackage our news about the finishing industry on a smaller screen.

The new PF app is usable as a tool for the work people do on the shop floor, in the estimating office or even out on the road. It includes reference tools that would be great to have in your pocket rather than running back to the office to look something up, or simple conversion charts and tables that makes calculations simple.

So download our app by CLICKING HERE

...and you’ll be able to download the smart phone app to your device (iPhone, Android and soon Windows).

We’ll add more tables if you’ll let us know. The thing you’ll learn about apps is that they are their own living, breathing thing, capable of being changed and improved over time.

And yes, we have created special “zones” on the app for our own special zones mentioned above. You can easily read the latest information on plating, painting, powder coating and the others, plus get info on new products just out on the market, as well as breaking news from the industry.

We think the PF app will give you some great use, and it is free of charge. Write to us and let us know what other features you’d like, and we’ll see about adding them in upcoming versions.

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.

Calculating Applied Media Force During Vibratory Finishing

What appear to be identically set-up vibratory bowls will finish identical loads of parts in varying time cycles. This paper offers a new technique to better predict what the operator will produce, by measuring the force applied to the parts. It is the efficiency of that force which controls the efficiency and speed of the refinement cycle.
