Peeling and Chipping Nickel
We have a manual nickel plating line. We periodically lose power in certain portions of the tank and/or have a very low rate of plating. We also have problems with chipping and peeling of our parts. Do you think there is any correlation between the electrical problems and the chipping and peeling of parts?

Are there any differences in the quality of the silver plate that you obtain from barrel and rack plating?
Read MoreBumpy Nickel Plating
We have a problem with bumps and roughness in our nickel sulfamate plating bath. We are convinced that particulate matter in the bath is causing this problem. We bag our anodes and continuously filter the plating solution. What else can we do to eliminate this problem?
Read MoreBlast Media
We recently changed our blast media from steel to alumina. We now find that the blasted areas of the parts do not plate. We also find that if we skip the acid dip step the parts will plate okay. What’s going on?

What thermochromic products would you recommend that offer the greatest color change, and what would those colors be? What is the temperature change necessary to effect this color change? How long would the change be visible with unassisted air cooling back to room temperature? Are these materials safe enough for a consumer to apply outdoors without concern for exposure or inhalation hazards?
