Tribar Technologies in Wixom, MI, notified state officials of an accidental discharge of thousands of gallons of liquid containing hexavalent chromium into the local sewage treatment system.
The Michigan Chapter of the NASF will be hosting an event at the Detroit Auto Show on Sept. 14.
For more than 50 years, aluminum-ceramic coatings have played an essential role in protecting steel components from heat and corrosion in turbines and turbomachinery.
Wearable electronics are becoming increasingly common, with clothing wired to connect to a range of devices like headphones nestled inside a hat.
Most energy storage systems (ESSs) have recently adopted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), with the highest technology maturity among secondary batteries.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has established a new Water Quality Value (WQV) for perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) and has revised the existing WQV for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has revised its fastener electroplating standards.
In this study, the Direct Immersion Gold (DIG) process is investigated.
XRF is an analysis tool that has been a mainstay of quality labs for decades.
When you think of a passivate — or chromate as they used to be — what comes to mind?
For nearly a century, chrome plating has served as the simplest and most cost-effective method of improving the surface characteristics (i.e., hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance) of common ferrous and non-ferrous metals used in industry and manufacturing.
The Minnesota Association of Metal Finishers will be hosting their annual golf outing on August 31.
The transition from internal combustion to battery electric vehicles (BEV) brings along new requirements and properties for corrosion protection.
A free webinar describes PFAS impacts on the due diligence process, and available PFAS insurance coverage.
OML and IML anodize coatings often get damaged, especially around fasteners and leading edges.
Stephanie Witt is the Customer Service Manager at Advanced Plating Technologies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the recipient of a National Association for Surface Finishers Award of Merit at SUR/FIN this year.
Despite a new $4.3 million zinc plating line bustling away on their expansive facility, Professional Plating General Manager Larry Dietz knows that the success of their operation isn’t always in the latest technology.
EnerVenue, the first company to bring metal-hydrogen batteries capable of 30,000 cycles to the clean energy revolution, says it has completed agreements with Precision Process and Precious Plate.
Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a bath-based method of producing ceramic layers on the surface of light alloys.
When power is converted from AC to DC, the current flows in ripples. Just as a light powered by such a current would flicker, electrochemical processes are also affected, either slowing or stopping, even if just for milliseconds at a time – and undetectable by the human eye.
Golf club manufacturer Callaway says less plating on its new wedges should result in better results for most users.
