Stainless Steel Electroplating?
Thermal spray huh? Is that only way to plate stainless steel onto another metal or are there other plating methods? "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water.

Stainless Steel Electroplating?
Surface layer I would like stainless steel. Basis/starting metal would be bronze or cast iron. Is that possible? Let's pretend cost is not an issue; is it possible?

Stainless Steel Electroplating?
Thank you fellas for the info. The reason I'm asking about stainless steel specifically is because I need materials that are potable, i.e. drinking water safe. The two major metals used in potable water plumbing are bronze and stainless steel because of the virtually non-existent lead content...- EngineerWinnie

Cracking on Mech Seal
No definite number there but my colleague suspects that, "they’re not far above boiling." I think he's guessing that because of a pressure tank that's in the system.

Cracking on Mech Seal
A colleague just asked me about this: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i19/r34racer01/IMG_20141114_145859_004_zps12f2d9d6.jpg My manager thinks it's thermal shock, but I believe this seal is tungsten-carbide so that should not have been an issue, right? They're pumping water in this system and...- EngineerWinnie

Question About Centerline Discharge Pumps
I recently read somewhere that the geometry of centerline discharge pumps prevent air from being trapped in the volute. Is this true? How does centerline discharge prevent that?- EngineerWinnie
