Have A Finishing Question?

Alkaline Zinc Plating
5/11/2012 Products Finishing: Can you give me a reference or two to learn more about the alkaline zinc plating process?
Film Thickness Measurement
4/9/2012 Products Finishing: What is the proper gage to measure coating thickness of zinc plating? Also, what gage is the right one for powder coating and manganese phosphating?
Reusing Water
3/2/2012 Products Finishing: We are using ion exchange treatment for wastewater from nickel-chrome and zinc plating. The metal rinses are passed through the ion exchange process to remove the presence of nickel, hex chrome and zinc metal ions. The “clean water” is re-used to rinse our plated parts, but we find that it attacks the bright zinc finish. What kind of characterization do we need to do to identify the pollutants that cause this?
Plating Zinc on a Zinc Substrate
1/13/2012 Products Finishing: Can you plate zinc on top of the zinc diecast?
Tighter Tolerances
11/23/2011 Products Finishing: We have a number of jobs that require making steel parts with very tight tolerances on the fit. We are thinking that zinc plating/chemical conversion coating might not be the best solution for us. Are there other materials out there that might give us more consistency on our tolerances and thickness?
