Hydrogen Embrittlement In Metal Finishing
Hydrogen embrittlement is when metals such as steel, become brittle and fractures. This happens when hydrogen is introduced into the metal substrate and subsequently diffused during the forming and finishing processes. Hydrogen embrittlement can seriously diminish a...
Electro Plating vs Electroless Plating
Plating a substrate will enhance and protect the part making it more resilient and less prone to corrosion over time. There are many plating techniques available. Which technique you choose is dependent on your desired effect and application of the part being plated....
Electroless Nickel Plating Finishing Options
Electroless nickel plating offers numerous finish options. The finish you choose should be determined based on a variety of factors specific to your needs such as industrial application and desired properties on the finished part such as conductivity or magnetism. The...
