Platers that test many different parts need an XRF analyzer with expansive measurement area, selectable spot sizes, high precision and speed. Bowman's K Series XRF meets these requirements. 12″x 12″ measurable area accommodates parts up to 9″ tall. Cantilever door allows easy access; servo motor-driven programmable stage streamlines sample positioning. Table-view functionality images the entire measurable area and lets operators navigate anywhere with one click. Variable focus simplifies measurements in recessed areas. Programs use pattern matching and automatic focus for highest precision. As with all Bowman XRFs, K Series features a Silicon Drift Detector and long-life micro focus X-ray tube.

Defects in Hard Chromium Deposits Part I: Causes and Cures
The causes of and remedies for defects in hard chromium deposits are explored in the first of this two-part P&SF article from 1984. Photomicrographs and SEM (scanning electron microscope) photographs will illustrate that most defects in various hard chromium deposits arise from defects in the basis metal. These defects may be in the original metal surface or may be caused by preplate finishing. Homogeneous hard chromium deposits can be produced only by eliminating these defects. Practical suggestions and procedures will be given.

Electroless Nickel-plated Steel versus Stainless Steel: Case Studies
This paper highlights two case studies of manufacturers that have replaced, or done studies to replace, stainless steel with electroless nickel-plated mild steel. In both cases, cost savings could be realized while maintaining or improving product quality.
