  • Manufacturing Glossary
    MANUFACTURING GLOSSARY Aging – A change in the properties of certain metals and alloys that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after a hot-working operation or a heat-treatment (quench aging in ferrous alloys, natural or artificial aging in ferrous and nonferrous alloys) or after a cold-working operation (strain aging). The change in properties is often, but not always, due to a phase change (precipitation), but never involves a change in chemical composition of the metal or alloy. Abrasive – Garnet, emery, carborundum, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, diamond, cubic boron nitride, or other material in various grit sizes used for grinding, lapping, polishing, honing, pressure blasting, and other operations. Each abrasive particle acts like a tiny, single-point tool that cuts a small chip; with hundreds of thousands of points doing so, high metal-removal rates are possible while providing a good finish. Abrasive Band – Diamond- or other abrasive-coated endless band fitted to a special band machine for machining hard-to-cut materials. Abrasive Belt – Abrasive-coated belt used for production finishing, deburring, and similar functions.See coated abrasive. Abrasive Cutoff Disc – Blade-like disc with abrasive particles that parts stock in a slicing motion. Abrasive Cutoff Machine, Saw – Machine that uses blade-like discs impregnated with abrasive particles to cut/part stock. See saw, sawing machine. Abrasive Flow Machining – Finishing operation for holes, inaccessible areas, or restricted passages. Done by clamping the part in a fixture, then extruding semisolid abrasive media through the passage. Often, multiple parts are loaded into a single fixture and finished simultaneously. Abrasive Machining – Various grinding, honing, lapping, and polishing operations that utilize abrasive particles to impart new shapes, improve finishes, and part stock by removing metal or other material.See grinding.

Walk-through surveys were conducted at about 30 electroplating plants and 9 in-depth studies at 8 plants. Air sampling and ventilation data and other control information were collected for 64 plating and cleaning tanks. Thirty-one of these were hard chrome plating tanks but cadmium, copper, nickel, silver, and zinc plating tanks were also evaluated. Acid, caustic and solvent cleaning tanks were also evaluated. Worker exposures were found to be controlled below existing and recommended standards. i11 CONTENTS ABSTRACT • iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ix I. INTRODUCTION • 1 II.

  • MECHANICAL PLATING Tony Van Der Spuy Reports on a Visit to Team Plating Works
    MECHANICAL PLATING Tony van der Spuy reports on a visit to Team Plating Works Whilst mechanical plating may sound like an outdated concept from yesteryear, nothing could be further from the truth. It is regarded as an environmentally friendly process that is big in the USA and in Australia with demand continuing to grow. Given all of its advantages, it is odd that there is not more discussion about mechanical plating, or more companies that are offering the service. After all, a zinc coating that does not contribute to hydrogen embrittlement, that coats far more evenly than electroplating and that can produce attractive coatings from 10 µm up to 75 µm thick certainly deserves some consideration. The process is known by various names. Peen plating is one of the more common alternatives, but impact plating is yet another description. The term mechanical galvanizing is also used when the coatings are in excess of 25 µm. So far the only company providing this method of coating that has come to SAMFA’s attention is commercial jobbing shop Team Plating Works situated in Germiston, Gauteng. Managed by Father and Son, Tony and Gary Joseph, this business joined SAMFA’s ranks as a member in May 2010. Their pre- dominant line is barrel zinc plating. Members who attended the AGMs in Gauteng or KZN will recall that Tony Joseph addressed the audience at these events. He is currently the vice chairman of the South African Electroplating Association, a SEIFSA aligned body established specifically to represent the interests of metal finishers at the Metal Industries Tony Joseph (left) in discussion with KZN Chairperson, Mark Wright, at the AGM in Bargaining Council.
