Metal Chem Highlights Eco-Friendly Electroless Nickel
SUR/FIN 2021 exhibitor Metal Chem has designed EN-CONNECT, a line of electroless nickel meant to be greener without sacrificing quality.
Metal Chem Inc. will be emphasizing its EN-CONNECT electroless nickel line at SUR/FIN 2021. The EN-CONNECT product line features solutions to plate aluminum and plastic substrates that are free of phosphate, nitrate, chromium and PFAS. It is designed to be a green technology that does not sacrifice corrosion resistance or performance
According to the company, EN-CONNECT was designed to meet tightening water discharge limits and eliminate hazardous materials. EN-CONNECT is suitable for use in the aerospace, military and automotive connecter industries. Metal Chem develops chemistry for the entire plating cycle, from pretreatment to wastewater treatment.

Practical Observations in Surface Chemistry and Boundary Layer Control to Enable Scalable Electrochemical Operation - The 57th William Blum Lecture
This paper is based on the 57th William Blum Memorial Lecture at SUR/FIN 2023, in Cleveland, Ohio on June 8, 2023, by Dr. Tim Hall, recipient of the 2023 NASF Scientific Achievement Award. It focuses on the practical effects of controlling the boundary and surface chemistry on a wide range of electrochemical applications. After a brief introduction to the concept and principles of surface and boundary layer properties during electrochemical processes, the use of this approach in controlling various physical properties during electroplating and electrochemical finishing is discussed, including controlling coating stress and metal composition, as well as enabling simple water-based electrolytes to polish passive or complex materials.

Calculating Applied Media Force During Vibratory Finishing
What appear to be identically set-up vibratory bowls will finish identical loads of parts in varying time cycles. This paper offers a new technique to better predict what the operator will produce, by measuring the force applied to the parts. It is the efficiency of that force which controls the efficiency and speed of the refinement cycle.
