The double-layer chromium plating process is an industry-wide, well established conventional plating process. It is understood that in order to obtain high corrosion resistance and high hardness with ...

Almost all materials corrode over time. When determining if a coating will withstand corrosion it is more helpful to test the surface to obtain useful data rather than subjecting it to such extreme ...

Rusty bolts can turn simple projects into major frustrations. A long-standing DIY technique offers a low-cost way to protect ...

Corrosion in metals can lead to the structural fatigue or failure of bridges, pipelines, and plane fuselages. Anti-corrosion coatings help prevent this, but they become ineffective when pierced, ...

Columbia’s Professor Colin Garfield Fink, who gave Industry a chromium-plated shield against rust, last week took out a patent for a tungsten-plated shield. Twenty million tons of iron and steel rust ...

Tactile switches with advanced contact materials improve signal integrity, durability, and lifecycle performance in demanding ...

Hexavalent chromium compounds are a key ingredient in coatings used to rust-proof steel. They also happen to be carcinogenic. Researchers, therefore, have been looking for non-toxic alternatives that ...

Haldex Commercial Vehicle Systems has introduced a new protective coating for remanufactured brake shoes that is guaranteed against lining edge cracking from ‘rust jacking’ when used in conjunction ...

A new type of coating for stainless steel developed by Chemcoaters uses covalent bonds to provide better corrosion resistance on galvanized steel. The coating, called InterCoat ChemGuard, is applied ...

a, The galvanic sequence, listing various metals and graphite in order of their tendency to corrode. b, An anodic coating such as Zn can protect steel even upon scratching. c, In contrast, with a ...
