On any day you’ll walk into our chemical lab, the heart of our process control, and you’ll see our chemist analyzing the concentration of a solution on the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. A technician’s over here doing Hull Cell testing or using the UV Vis spectrophotometer or High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph. They’re doing wet chemical titrations... All this, to strictly monitor and carefully control our plating solutions.
Our materials engineer is out there testing deposit thickness, testing adhesion, he’ll test a part’s corrosion resistance in our salt-spray chamber. He’s doing saw cuts, bend tests, he’ll x-ray parts and perform thickness testing. We want to know that the finish on your extruded or forged aluminum, cast magnesium, zinc die-cast or raw steel parts will look perfect when the piece comes off one of our lines.
