Considerations Regarding the Proper Loading of Vibratory Finishing Bowls for Optimal Quality, Performance and Throughput Efficiency
Available since the late 1950s, traditional vibratory bowl processing has advanced in recent years from being a generic deburring tool to being able to achieve high-quality, isotropic superfinishes on critical, dimensionally-challenged workpieces. This paper is a peer-reviewed and edited version of a presentation delivered at NASF SUR/FIN 2013 in Rosemont, Ill., on June 11, 2013.

Pre-Plate Finishing
We chrome plate a small aluminum fitting, first using a vibratory process on the part to produce a competitive, refined, pre-plate finish. This often creates small part dings and surface orange peel that only show up after plating. What causes the surface damage, and how can we test for part damage on the hard-to-see-through matte finish prior to plating to avoid an expensive strip and re-plate process?
