Question: We operate a metal fabrication shop with our own five-stage iron phosphate washer.

In 1986, the AESF published Theory and Practice of Pulse Plating, edited by Jean Claude Puippe and Frank Leaman, the world’s first textbook on pulse plating.  A compendium of chapters written by experts in this then-emerging field, the book quickly became the authoritative text in pulse plating.  What follows here is the opening chapter, serving as an introduction to the field.  Although the field has grown immensely in the intervening 35 years, the reader will find that the material remains a valuable introduction to those looking to advance the field of pulse plating.

Question: I believe that a correctly passivated stainless steel must be exposed to air to enhance and continually reinforce the passivated microscopic layer present on the surface.

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the seventh quarter of project work (July-September 2019) on the AESF Foundation Research project at the Tennessee Technological University. The objective of the work is to study and optimize the MCrAlY electro-codeposition process to improve the coating oxidation/corrosion performance.  In this quarter, the effect of the particle size of gas-atomized CrAlY powders on electro-codeposited Ni-CrAlY composite coatings was studied.

BSAA oxide coating exhibits many of the same properties as the aluminum oxide coating that is derived from the chromic acid process.

Here's a look at some of the most common hazardous waste violations in electroplating facilities, and what can be done to prevent or correct them...

Question: Steve, I've been a dedicated reader of your column in PF for many years.

Question: I am a hobbyist and want to refinish some parts with silver, gold and nickel.

Question: Is burn-off the only way that rejected parts can be salvaged?

Wire bending machine may make it not only possible, but profitable
