What is the best zinc phosphate process for protecting steel?
Film Thickness Control
What can we do to better control the thickness of the powder on our parts?
“Lumpy” Stannate Tin
I am having problems plating stannate tin on parts that have a copper flash. Parts are “lumpy” and dewetted.
Adhesion Testing
We test the adhesion of plastisol to steel by crosshatch cutting through the plastisol and galvanizing all the way to the steel substrate. Is this test reliable for paint film adhesion?

Flaking Nickel

Plating Stainless Steel
We plate carbon steel with brass, and our process consists of hydrochloric acid pickling, rinse, cyanide brass plating, or copper and zinc followed by diffusion. Would it be possible to plate stainless steel with the same process?
