Metal, specifically steel, is pervasive in modern society. It is the building block of cities and towns. Corrosion works to reduce metal structures back to their original state of ore, making the metal weaker and more susceptible to damage—which can ultimately lead to...
In modern society, fasteners are ubiquitous. The materials that create the structures of our cityscapes and rural communities alike are an integral part of modern life. The fasteners holding these materials together, while often taken for granted, are vital to the...
High chloride environments, moisture, salt spray, oxidation, and exposure to environmental or industrial chemicals all contribute to the corrosion of metals. Corrosion affects the integrity of the metals and has a staggering impact on the global economy with costs of...
Protect Your Parts from Corrosion with Electroless Nickel Coating The process of electroless nickel plating deposits an even layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy to the surface of the substrate resulting in a material with exceptional uniformity. High phosphorus...
While most molders are likely to have a preference for specific types of plating, unfortunately, there is no universal coating that is appropriate for all applications. In fact, even the best or strongest coatings can be used irresponsibly. This inevitably leads to...
Injection molding is the most common method of plastic part manufacturing. When looking at potential applications for plastic molds, the possibilities are virtually endless. Injection molding is used to create a diverse collection of products, from something as small...
