Automated Measuring Systems for Coating, Electroplating

As demands placed on coatings and electroplating rise, production tolerance limits grow tighter. Significant value can be realized when processes are continuously monitored and adjusted in real-time, improving quality & yield.
Fischer Technology Inc. says real value can be added when production measurements are networked with automated quality control. In a process, a coating can become thinner or thicker over time. Automated measuring systems can detect changes and adjust a process in real-time. Measuring and adjusting a coating process in real-time helps avoid rejects and increases quality. Common measurement methods such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and magnetic dry film thickness (DFT) methods can be integrated in the production process.

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.
