Alkaline Zinc Systems Reduce Rejects, Increase Productivity

Asterion will showcase its RoHS-compliant Asterion Ultra alkaline zinc systems, designed to provide corrosion protection while reducing rejects, increasing productivity and enhancing appearance. Each system includes TechniBrite Ultra Zn alkaline zinc, which is formulated to produce bright, ductile deposits with uniform and precise thickness distributions over a wide current density range. Delivering exceptional chromate adhesion, the coating is highly tolerant to zinc brightener levels and temperature conditions, the company says.

Suited for both rack and barrel operations without burning, the systems also feature UltraPass trivalent passivates for high neutral salt spray results. UltraSeal sealants provide added corrosion protection.

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.
