NASF/AESF has announced new dates for its web-based Chromium Plating for Engineering Applications course. The course will run throughout July on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Noon – 2 p.m. EST.
Webinar Dates: July 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28
Registration Deadline: June 22, 2021
The course will cover:
- Chemistry for Hard Chromium Platers
- Electricity for Hard Chromium Platers
- Electrochemistry for Hard Chromium Platers
- Equipment for Hard Chromium Plating
- Masking Techniques
- Mechanical Surface Preparation
- Chemical Surface Preparation
- Basic Chromium Plating Principles
- Analysis & Control of Chromium Plating Solutions
- Troubleshooting & Purification of Chromium Plating Solutions
NASF’s Web-Based training program is beneficial for operators and supervisors of job shop and captive shops performing hard chromium plating operations on a variety of substrates. The course is also beneficial to sales personnel who work for suppliers of hard chromium and equipment.
The goal of this course is for students to have a basic understanding of chemical and electrical principles as they relate to hard chromium plating and be able to apply Faraday’s law in calculating the time required to obtain a target thickness of chromium plate. NASF says that at the conclusion of the course students will know the basics of the chromium plating process, including equipment, operational conditions and the role of impurities.

Plastics and Plating on Plastics [1944]
This republished 1944 AES convention paper presents an historic perspective of the early days of plastics in surface finishing - using them and plating on them, in the waning years of World War II. The discussion reviews the uses of plastics in plating equipment and processing at that time, as well as the coating of the plastics themselves, with accompanying application photos. You will note that today’s conventional plating-on-plastics processes lay far in the future. Surprisingly, CVD processes are discussed.

Development of a Sustainability Metrics System and a Technical Solution Method for Sustainable Metal Finishing: AESF Research Project #R-121, 6th Quarterly Report
The NASF Research Board has funded a research grant at Wayne State University on sustainability in the surface finishing industry, under the direction of Professor Yinlun Huang. The objective of the work is to create a surface-finishing-specific sustainability metrics system to measure economic, environmental and social sustainability. In this report, a benchmarking study of five plants was undertaken to illustrate how the sustainability assessment works.

The Adhesion of Electrodeposits to Plastics
The 1966 Carl E. Huessner Gold Medal Award was given to Dr. Edward Saubestre and co-workers for Best Paper appearing in Plating in 1965, and their paper is republished here in a series on the AES/AESF/NASF Best Paper Awards. This paper is a comprehensive treatise on the Jacquet peel test, a primary test method for determining adhesion on plated plastics.
