can scale cause blister on parts after being chrome platted?
can scale cause blister on parts after being chrome platted?
(OP)
we heat treated some parts (4130) and then send to platter to chrome plating. after platting, a few parts have blister. platter claims that it is caused by the heavy scale on parts, and the scale was formed by baking the stamping oil into the parts in the heat treating process.
We start to wash parts before heat treating but the blister still occurs.
any comments? does the scale really cause blister? or can platter wash offer scale before platting?
