NASF Highlights Weak Rationale to White House

During the 1990s, the late Dr. Rolf Weil contributed a monthly column in the AESF journal, Plating & Surface Finishing, in which he described the various methods by which the properties of electrodeposits could be measured and characterized.  Topics covered include analytical equipment, measurement methods and specific applications.  Dr. Weil's practical approach, in layman's terms, aimed at taking the fear out of using sophisticated equipment.  What follows is a collection of several of those columns.

Mist suppressants are an important tool for reducing exposure of workers to Cr(VI) during plating and etching operations.
