The vendor uses two cleaning solutions to prepare the surface for plating
First Nuvat 6-8 oz/gal tank temp 160-180F
Second Maxamp 8-10 oz/gal tank temp 160-180F
I don't think the cleaning solutions would dissolve the material. Could there be a issue with the plating rectifier?
Below are the...
Thank you all for the information I have learned something new today. I do have one more question. Would there be a physical change to the appearance of the material surface on the part if the acid cleaning was not done correctly?

We measure the wire diameter cross section before and after plating using a micrometer using the same method.

A pickling was performed to clean the surface before tinning.
Thank you all
We manufacture a Compression spring out of 0.026" tolerance +/-0.0003 wire diameter music wire per astm A228. We send the part out for a commercial thk .12 mil min tin plate. Weird thing occurred when we received the parts back and measured the wire diameter cross section-ally the wire...
I have a technical question about a compression spring we make for a customer. The spring is made of 316SS spring temper per ASTM A313. The problem that occurs is the customer places the compression spring into a mold so the spring is under some compression, about 20% of the deflection and the...
Material: 0.014" Nitinol # 1 condition cold worked spring temper surface finish: etched and polished.

Looking for any online resources for manufacturing guidelines.
Thanks

If you are still looking for those plastic springs. Let me know I can have them made on our 3d printing machine. We can offer only ABS plastic. You can call me at 847-671-6767 ask for Chris.
Hi guys I think you guys might be on to something. So you think just presetting the part will cold work the material enough to reach the 10mm life cycle? I have attached a spec sheet of the part.
Let me know your thoughts...

Do you know anyone in the Chicago-land area that does laser shock peening? Also do you where I can find any literature about the process?
Thanks for the info
