SLOTOLOY ZN „Generation VX“ 

The alkaline zinc-nickel processes SLOTOLOY ZN „Generation VX“ are operated with an anode (special anode VX 1) 

specially adapted to the process and respective additives. Because of this, the formation of breakdown products and cyanide 

on the anode is inhibited. The practical application at customers showed in converted electrolytes that even the cyanide 

content is reduced actively. 

Advantages of the zinc-nickel 

processes „Generation VX” 

· No cost-intensive membrane technology necessary. 

· Improvement of current efficiency and appearance. 

· Simple conversion of existing electrolytes. 

· Low additive consumption. 

· The formation of cyanide is significantly reduced and 

may falls below the detection limit. 

· Since there’s less non-active tetracyanonickelate there’s 

a lower demand of nickel.

Introduction 

Welcome to the 45th edition of the Finishing Industries Yearbook – the essential guide for everyone involved 

in the UK surface treatment industry. 

2022 has been another challenging year. We have experienced rapid changes economically, politically and 

with the sad passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, constitutionally too. Now with a new king and a new prime 

minster, we must remain optimistic. However if 2022 has taught us anything, it is that the spirit of British 

industry remains as strong as it has ever been. 

We hope that you find this edition an invaluable aid to sourcing suppliers to provide the solution to your 

specific needs. It is used by the whole buying chain from trade finishing houses to manufacturers of a wide 

variety of products from white goods to automotive. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the businesses that have contributed to the compilation of 

this yearbook. If you have any comments, suggestions or would like to be included in the next edition, please 

email me at b.williams@turretgroup.com. 

The Finishing Industries Team wish you all the very best for 2023!

SERFILCO INTERNATIONAL 

Global Products, Local Service & Advice You Can Rely On 

Manual Ion Exchange Treatment & 

Regeneration Systems for Trivalent 

Chrome Plating 

For successful trivalent chromium plating bath 

operation, SERFILCO provides simple, cost-effective 

equipment to remove copper, nickel and zinc from 

the bath without interrupting bath operation. The 

benefits gained include the following: 

• Copper, zinc and nickel ions are all removed 

from the bath smultaneously. 

• Treatment can be done during bath operation 

(no shutdown time required). 

• Treatment can be done continuously or 

intermittently depending on need. 

• The treatment units are small and usually can 

be located right at the plating tank. 

• Treatment is simple, consisting of pumping 

solution from the tank, through the treatment 

unit and back to the tank. 

• Regeneration of the ion exchange resin takes 

about two hours and occurs about every week 

to two weeks for a properly sized treatment 

unit. 

• Options exist for acid, alkaline and de-min water 

feeds for regeneration.

n During the QUALICOAT UK & Ireland conference held at the 

Building Centre in London, Chris Mansfield Commercial Director of 

Tomburn and licensed QUALICOAT Applicator, offered delegates 

an insight into the recently released BS EN 12206 for coated 

architectural aluminium having sat on the working group dealing with 

the revision. 

n Previous HSE research estimated that there are approximately 3000 

workers employed at around 450 companies in the Great Britain (GB) 

surface treatment industry who are potentially exposed to a range of 

carcinogens, asthmagens and skin sensitisers including nickel (Ni) 

compounds. 

Many of these workers are employed in small to medium sized 

enterprises. 

The work showed that exposure occurs by inhalation, absorption 

through the skin, by ingestion or any combination of these three routes. 

The research found that the most effective engineering control was to 

use eductors or add LEV to an air agitated tank. Using basic principles 

of occupational hygiene, the researchers identified that use of eductors 

was best because this eliminates emissions at source and is the most 

reliable option. 


8 COMPANY PROFILE 

FP Advanced invest in contouring technology with Gema 

to boost productivity. 

• Unique single chamber design 

means up to 50% percent less 

wear parts 

• Automatic colour change 

capabilities saves time 

• Automated cleaning for normal 

maintenance and colour 

change applications 

• Superior application performance 

from Gema’s patent* protected 

technology 

As part of the project the 

existing application guns were 

updated to the latest version, the 

gun quantity was increased to 

support a higher line speed. The 

automatic guns are mounted on 

Gema’s latest-generation dynamic 

contouring detection system, a 

proven innovation which is 

aspects combined have meant our 

productivity has increased by 

considerably more than 30%. The 

automation and component tracking 

from the contouring guns has 

been a game changer for our 

business, the operator manual 

coating intervention has been 

eliminated completely in many 

cases which is supporting a fully 

automated process for significant 

portions of the work which would 

traditionally have required two 

operators. 

Leon Hogg of Gema said ‘We 

were delighted to have secured 

this prestigious project and play a 

role in FP Advanced growth 

strategy. This contouring 

Technology is a fantastic 

innovation, and we are pleased to 

have many other installations 

planned for this year.’ 

The Dynamic Contour 

Detection process is carried out in 

two steps; 

FP Advanced, formerly known 

as Foleshill Plating, are a Coventrybased 

company offering powder 

coating and E-coating services to 

some big OEM’s including some 

prestigious automotive brands. A 

long-standing Gema customer, 

they had reached a point where 

they were at maximum capacity, 

and it was time to upgrade their 

powder coating facility to increase 

throughput and position them for 

their next stage of growth. 

The latest installation comprises 

an OC07 OptiCentre complete 

with SIT pump technology, a 

product which is respected as the 

market leading solution for 

producing optimised powder 

application combined with stable 

and repeatable results with 

minimum operator intervention. 

Trying to produce an optimum 

powder spray pattern using an 

older high density, multi-channel 

pump is a challenge. “Puffing” 

and “surging” powder clouds 

must be constantly monitored 

and controls adjusted. OptiSpray 

and its Smart Inline Technology 

(SIT) design uses a revolutionary 

single channel powder path to 

accurately deliver powder and 

provide you with broader spray 

pattern management at the gun 

tip. This control offers the highest 

quality appearance for all types of 

powder coating material, even 

challenging special effect metallic 

and textured powders. 

Customer Benefits 

• Smart Inline Technology (SIT) 

can save you up to 15 percent 

in powder consumption 

• Improved penetration in 

recesses 

• Broad powder spray pattern 

control 

• Individual cloud control for each 

powder coating gun 

• Most compact application 

powder pump on the market 

• Inline design provides simple 

and ergonomic systems 

integration 

re-shaping the industry when it 

comes to automatic coating of 

complex geometries. Contouring 

supports independent movement 

of each gun on its own dedicated 

axis, coupled with a laser scanner 

this enables the guns to track 

product geometries and optimize 

the coating distance accordingly 

to deliver the coating result. 

Contouring is a truly game 

changing technology within the 

automatic powder coating space 

and facilitates customers to 

achieve automatic coating where 

it would have been previously 

impossible. 

Chris Waterhouse of FP 

Advanced said ‘We are delighted 

with the recent installation, it 

made sense with our initial 

calculations based on a 30% 

increase in productivity, we were 

running at full capacity working 

24 hours a day. With the 

additional guns and contouring 

system we have been able to 

increase the line speed, as well as 

reducing our colour change time 

with the OptiCentre, and these 

1. Scan: The laser scanners 

operate in a two-dimensional 

area. They measure distances to 

the obstacle and calculate the 

outline of the object. This data 

is tracked to the MagicControl 

4.0 unit. 

2. Spray: The scanned object 

shape is segmented and 

translated in an accurate axis 

position and individual gun 

adjustments. Each axis is 

independently positioned from 

each other. 

Many companies with a powder 

coating function are often 

convinced manual application is 

their best option, and that might 

have been the case prior to this 

development.

High-efficiency monocyclone saves energy and powder 

Many companies ask themselves 

how they can use less energy to 

reduce costs and protect the 

environment more. For powder 

coating, WAGNER has an 

excellent solution: the EEP series 

with its potential savings of up to 

40%. 

One of the biggest global 

trends is energy-saving. This also 

effects powder coating systems. 

Here, energy is needed directly in 

the form of electrical power, for 

example to drive motors, and 

also indirectly in the form of 

compressed air. 

Even in the past, WAGNER has 

used energy-efficient components 

and energy-optimised processes in 

its powder coating systems. They 

have a function, for example, 

which switches off the lifting 

devices in gaps, or only activates 

guns if a workpiece actually travels 

in front of it. This function is 

known as gap and height control. 

These savings may appear small, 

however they add up to a 

significant sum at the end of the 

year. 

Cutting energy costs for powder 

coating by up to 40 % 

The biggest energy consumer in 

powder coating, however, 

remained the fan motor in the 

final filter, which can consume up 

to 37 kW of power or even more 

at times. Now, WAGNER has 

developed a comprehensive 

energy-saving concept for this 

fan motor and successfully 

implemented it back in 2016 in 

the “EEP” monocyclone and final 

filter series. EEP stands for “Energy 

Efficiency Package”. 

In the EEP concept, two measures 

come together to reduce airflow 

resistance and therefore 

compressed air consumption: first 

is an optimised duct between the 

powder cabin and cyclone, and 

second is a special air guide within 

the monocyclone itself. With this 

setup, a smaller motor is sufficient 

to generate the same volume of 

suction. In this way the EEP series 

is able to reduce energy costs by 

up to 40 %. 

These values can be achieved 

by combining a high-efficiency 

monocyclone with a corresponding 

ductwork and matching filter to 

create the “Energy Efficiency 

Package” (EEP) (see illustration). 

Powder savings by boosting 

cyclone efficiency 

In addition to energy savings, the 

flow-optimised construction of the 

cyclone also increases the cyclone 

efficiency by 1-2%. This is a 

positive side effect that should not 

be under-estimated. Depending 

on the system configuration, 

powder savings can be quite 

considerable. In example 

calculations (see table), cost 

savings of 20% can be achieved. 

“Energy and powder savings are 

important for many industrial 

clients and their significance is 

increasing. Partly, of course, due to 

lower costs – but also because 

more and more companies have 

set themselves the goal of 

reducing their energy consumption 

to protect the environment. 

With the EEP series, we are able 

to help our clients to achieve these 

goals”, explains Michael Topp, 

Global Product Manager at 

WAGNER.

prices soar. In these cases, changing 

the chemicals and equipment 

used in the cleaning process can 

have a significant impact. 

The benefits of next generation 

solvents 

The significant advancements in 

industrial solvent cleaning, results 

in viable, safe, and cost effective 

solvents. One such product is 

Chemours’ Opteon SF80 which 

has an ultralow GWP of under 2.5, 

unlike common F-gas solvents 

that can have a maximum GWP 

of 11,000. SF80 is just as effective 

as these damaging competitor 

products – and can be more 

efficient – so changing can have 

a huge impact on lowering 

carbon emissions. 

Changing products can also 

save money. SF80 reduces weekly 

CO2 usage by 75%, reduces 

weekly fluid consumption by 

50% and reduces average daily 

consumable costs by eliminating 

water treatment. One of Fraser 

Technologies’ aerospace customers 

found success with sister product, 

SF79. SF79’s 100% cleanliness 

pass rate and efficiency reduces 

lead times and costs. 

Best in class equipment 

Fraser Technologies market 

leading cleaning systems provide 

superior cleans for a wide range 

of industries. 

Our superior solvent cleaning 

systems offer environmentally 

friendly and cost-effective 

systems. Our range includes 

single and twin tank options to 

fully automated systems to 

improve your current processes. 

The range is designed to safely 

operate with the new generation 

non-flammable approved 

solvents. Sealed lids, upgraded 

refrigeration, ultrasonic options 

along with the Vapotronic 

Electro-Pulse Modulation 

increases solvent retention, 

reduces energy consumption and 

emits fewer carbon emissions. 

In addition, we offer a wide 

range of aqueous cleaning 

systems. The SlimLine PLW 6011 

& PLW 6111 aqueous cleaning 

systems from Miele Professional, 

for example, are single chamber 

aqueous cleaning machines. 

Providing time energy and cost 

saving efficiencies, they can 

meet the stringent cleaning 

requirements for high-reliability 

industrial sectors. 

At only 65cm wide, their compact 

footprint still provides a large 

and flexible internal chamber 

space. This combined with a 

smart load system means a 

variety of components to be 

efficiently cleaned simultaneously 

whilst utilising much less space 

compared with standard sized 

machines. 

Fraser Technologies have 

50 years of experience in 

component cleaning across all 

manufacturing sectors. They are 

uniquely qualified to offer independent 

evaluations alongside as 

well as sales support packages to

ISO 14001:2015. 

modifications for their application 

can be tailored to their needs. 

The safety of the products in 

use is particularly important and 

a number of variations in heaters 

and controllers have been added 

to provide additional protection 

such as, over temperature 

protection for heaters. These 

include the Thermaster OTP and 

Thermaster OTF (Thermal fuse) 

systems. These combine with the 

HPD system that has been 

available on Polaris Popular and 

Modular heaters for many years. 

A full range of equipment 

available from one source 

The product range is continually 

being extended as it is easier 

for many customers to be able 

to order from one place. The 

most recent product to be 

added was the Polaris Neptune 

range of Tubular MI heaters. 

These have a moisture proof 

head to encapsulate the joint 

between the heater and the lead 

which is vital in any wet 

environment. 

Under control 

Accurate temperature control is 

essential for modern complex 

manufacturing plants and 

production processes. Besides 

the high demands of the industry 

there is a need for simple and 

vigorous products for the

We maintain a stock of both 

finished goods and component 

parts so that products can be 

either despatched the same 

day as an order, or a nonstock 

item can be manufactured 

in a very short space of time. 

The paramount objective is 

to always satisfy customers’ 

requirements. Our sales and 

technical staff are always 

available to provide advice and 

assistance. 

BRAUDE engineers will calculate 

specific heating requirements 

The first thing to do when

A SIEBEC Innovation: IONPURE 

Continuously eliminates metal polluting the Chromium (III) baths in order to guarantee optimal concentration and 

constant part quality 

Why IONPURE? Each time parts 

are plated ionic metal impurities 

are removed from the parts. They 

contaminate the Chromium (III) 

bath and this reduces the plating 

quality. The IONPURE treats the 

Chromium (III) bath continuously, 

keeping the metal ion pollution 

to a minimum. Thus, there is no 

interruption in production and 

the volume of effluent is minimal 

when compared to the traditional 

method of dilution or complete 

replacement of the 

solution. 

The treatment utilizes specific 

ion exchange resins. Once the 

resin is saturated (50g of metal 

for 1 litre of resin), IONPURE 

switches to regeneration mode to 

clean the resin of impurities in 

order to reuse the resin. Once 

clean the IONPURE is again 

used to remove the metal 

impurities from the bath. It is 

important to note that the 

regeneration cycle is initiated 

after analysis of the Chrome 

solution. 

Key benefits of IONPURE 

• Durable and profitable 

investment 

• Quality parts. Guaranteed 

• Increased Productivity

The Cleaning of The Future… Now 

Kemet are pleased to offer a new 

range of cleaning machines which 

operate in a complete vacuum 

treatment cycle in all phases, 

ensuring excellent cleaning of 

finished products from wastage 

and oily substances, without 

releasing harmful 

substances into the 

environment. The 

systems use a combination 

of spray, basket 

rotation, aqueous 

cleaning, modified 

alcohols hydrocarbons, 

hydrocarbons HFE and 

ultrasounds. Benefits of 

the machines are: 

• Minimal loss of solvent 

significantly reducing 

process cost and 

environmental impact 

• Distillation, separation, 

and filtration of contaminants 

allows oils to be 

reused in machining processes 

and swarf/particles to be reused 

or economically disposed of. 

• Uses modified alcohols with a 

flash point of more than 60°C 

under vacuum, so machines do 

not have to be manufactured to 

ATEX approved rates, reducing 

build cost. 

• Ethernet connection providing 

online diagnosis of technical 

issues and predictive maintenance. 

• Cleans component areas that 

are hard to reach with Aqueous/ 

HFE solvents, including blind 

holes and tubes.

The ideal technology for any application? 

SAMES answer this question 

The ideal paint application 

solution...? All SAMES solutions 

answer this question that many 

customers ask themselves. 

HVLP or Conventional, 

Airmix ® , Airless ® (*), Electrostatic, 

Powder coating, many technologies 

are available to spray 

paint on parts. It is very 

complicated for a production 

manager to find his way around. 

Spraying technology must be 

perfectly adapted to the customer's 

production. The elements 

are numerous... What 

type of application do 

we do? Is it a protective 

or embellishing 

application on the part? 

On visible or nonvisible 

parts? Complex 

or simple design parts? 

What type of substrate - 

metal, plastic, wood? 

On high or low 

production volumes? 

So many questions for a 

project manager. SAMES

Automated paint plant improves factory flow and production 

Powder coating plant and 

equipment specialists Haviland 

Ltd were awarded the contract to 

update, modernise and automate 

the painting facility at REDHILL 

manufacturing, a leading uk 

manufacturer of industrial storage 

and access solutions. 

Haviland designed and installed 

a turnkey package including a 

new design of power and free 

track system. This new design 

eliminates the consistent running 

noise usually associated with 

power and free systems. Due to 

extensive testing and design of 

the interlocking mechanism 

between the towing dog and free 

trolly, this system allows for rise 

and fall of both loaded and 

unloaded flight bars, allowing for 

increased versatility in their plant 

layouts. Flight bars are flagged 

and directed to set areas, 

allowing for multiple systems to 

be integrated into one conveyor. 

The system installed linked two 

independent downdraught powder 

booths to one cure oven and then 

on to multiple off load areas 

within the factory via points and 

pneumatic pushers to eliminate 

any non value added activities 

spent manually moving components 

in between work spaces. 

Systems are fully configurable 

in respect to screen display and 

visual feedback. This particular 

one is managed via a smart system 

controlled from one central panel. 

The programme shows a number 

of configurable screens with live 

feedback of flight bar tracking, 

full plant over view, individual 

process areas along with a maintenance 

screen. Live oven capacity 

and count down till the next 

release. A system which has user 

interface as a core design criteria. 

The oven is designed to use 

the indexing capabilities of the 

power and free conveyor to process 

flight bars. As a product enters via 

the automatic doors, it is timed. A 

queue of flight bars builds up 

within the oven, each product 

completing its programmable 

time. Once the time is complete, 

it exits through a further set of 

doors to the unload stations. This 

process saves both energy by 

retaining heat within the oven, 

along with the space required to 

run a conventional tunnel oven. 

A step forward with design 

from Haviland has created a 

versatile system with many 

applications.

Bespoke garden sculpture protected for life 

The team at Hull-based Humber 

Galvanizing Ltd has helped 

protect the long-term future of a 

garden sculpture inspired by an 

iconic space at The Alnwick 

Gardens. 

North Yorkshire-based Artist 

Blacksmith, Katie Ventress, was 

commissioned to produce a 

private sculpture inspired by the 

landmark’s Poison Garden, 

which includes around 100 

toxic, intoxicating, and narcotic 

plants, and an iconic entrance 

sign featuring skull and crossbones. 

Katie took inspiration from the 

Garden’s “these plants may kill” 

entrance sign and created her 

sculpture which includes Victorian 

lettering to mimic old-fashioned 

poison bottle labels, and climbing 

ivy leaves, 3D skull and crossbones, 

and a larger-than-life 

spider and web in reference to 

the ‘False Widow’ spider. 

Once fabricated, Katie then 

sent the piece to the team at 

Humber Galvanizing to be hot 

dipped in its large molten zinc 

bath, a process which coats metal 

and protects it from corrosion. 

The molten zinc treatment also 

results in a bright silver finish, 

which Katie then acid-etched to 

create striking highlights and 

rustic effects. 

Katie explained: “Having visited 

the brilliant Poison Garden at 

Alnwick myself, I already felt 

inspired to make something for 

my customer’s garden that was 

completely unique to them but 

drew on inspiration from the 

iconic Poison Garden’s entrance. 

“I’d never made a spider or 

human skull before and am 

typically drawn to the ‘darker’ 

subjects, so I was very excited to 

get stuck in and do something 

new! Galvanizing was hugely 

important in order to protect the 

outdoor piece from the elements, 

and the team at Humber 

Galvanizing did a great job as 

always. After all, if the sign 

doesn’t last for long, how will 

people know that the plants will 

kill?” 

According to Katie, the finish 

also provides her with a unique 

base from which to acid-etch. 

“I use Humber Galvanizing 

regularly both for long-term 

protection and for the design, 

as the silver finish allows me to 

create darker shading and 

accentuate specific details. 

“Once this process was done, I 

then polished the lettering and 

cobweb to make them stand out. 

I’m very pleased with the finished 

result and am 

thrilled to see 

it in pride of 

place in my 

customer’s 

garden.” 

Tony 

Linsley, Sales 

Manager at 

Humber 

Galvanizing, 

added: “Katie 

always brings 

us fantastic 

sculptures to 

galvanize and 

it’s always an 

exciting 

moment when 

they are 

brought out 

fully coated 

from the 

galvanizing 

bath. This was 

certainly an 

eye-catching 

piece and 

we’re pleased 

that it’s been 

protected for 

the customer 

to enjoy for 

many years to 

come.”

Corrosion Protection - 

developing the best preventative measures to reduce corrosion 

Carbon and high strength steels 

are some of the most widely 

used metals today, and the 

corrosion of this type of material 

is a serious problem for a 

variety of industries including 

engineering, manufacturing, and 

aerospace. If left untreated metal 

corrosion can affect a business 

from both economic and 

structural integrity standpoints. 

However, corrosion can largely 

be controlled with developments 

in various protective solutions. 

Sarah Medeiros, Corrosion 

Engineer at SIFCO ASC, discusses 

developments in R&D to help 

slow down the corrosion process. 

The shutdown and failure of 

equipment due to corrosion can 

cause major setbacks for any 

industry, especially when 

experiencing equipment failure 

or replacement, leading to loss of 

productivity and efficiency. This is 

why comprehensive research is 

undertaken to identify the effects 

and risks of corrosion to better 

understand which types of metals 

are most likely to be affected as 

well as developing the best 

preventative measures to reduce 

corrosion. 

The challenges facing 

engineering, manufacturing 

and aerospace. 

There are a variety of challenges 

when it comes to preventing 

corrosion especially when 

working in hot and humid 

environments, and even not 

wiping off chemicals or cleaning 

equipment can result in issues. 

However, having a proper 

maintenance schedule which 

includes keeping both machine 

and equipment clean as well as 

being situated within an airconditioned 

environment will 

extend equipment and machine 

life. 

As well as being 

economically 

important, there is 

the additional 

sustainability issue 

when it comes 

to corrosion 

protection. While 

accounting for 

depreciation might 

set the expected 

lifetime for a 

certain number 

of years for a 

specific piece of 

equipment or 

component, by 

adding corrosion 

protection you 

have the ability to 

further extend that 

lifetime which is far 

more sustainable 

than replacement. 

Types of metals at 

risk of 

corrosion. 

Carbon and high 

strength steels are 

very susceptible to 

corrosion because 

these alloys have 

been designed 

primarily for 

strength and lack 

the chromium 

content found in stainless steels 

that prevent corrosion. The 

aerospace industry is a prime 

example of the necessity of 

corrosion prevention, due to the 

wide variety of environments that 

materials are exposed to, 

especially the high strength steel 

landing gears on planes. With 

this type of steel, hydrogen 

embrittlement adds an element 

of risk. Another alternative 

electroplated deposit for 

corrosion protection is tin zinc, 

however, one of its disadvantages 

is it has less optimum wear 

properties when compared to 

zinc nickel. 

Corrosion protection relies 

heavily on testing, and it 

produces a great deal of data 

which needs to be analyzed. 

This research helps to benefit 

businesses within engineering, 

manufacturing, and the 

aerospace industry. R&D 

departments’ regularly work on 

different projects and corrosive 

scenarios. One major product 

that the team at SIFCO ASC are 

involved with is a cadmium 

replacement technology – a zinc 

nickel alloy. The two primary 

forms of corrosion that are 

most likely to affect substrates 

that have traditionally been 

electroplated with cadmium are 

hydrogen embrittlement and 

general corrosion. By adjusting 

and homing in on a variety of 

plating parameters, zinc nickel 

has met or exceeded cadmium 

selective plating, especially during 

salt spray testing. 

Optimizing this deposit and 

plating parameters, along with 

the subsequent research and 

testing are driven by regulations 

which aim to reduce the use of 

harmful chemicals like cadmium, 

which is a carcinogen, whereas 

zinc nickel is less harmful. A lot 

of the testing within zinc nickel 

helps to support businesses with 

their corrosion protection goals 

and, in some instances, helps 

them work with the military to 

roll the system out where 

advances in corrosion protection 

are vital. 

Translating the data into real 

world problem solving. 

Data gained from testing can 

be used to work on other 

projects that will help to advance 

corrosion protection. The ASCS 

(Advanced Solution Control 

System) is one such project, 

which is a fully automated, 

dripless, selective electroplating 

system from SIFCO ASC. One of 

the many benefits of this type of 

technology is that due to the 

dripless design the plating 

solution is vacuumed away 

during the plating process, 

allowing an even tighter control 

on testing parameters and 

reducing hazardous waste. 

Additional testing has involved 

looking at the effects of the 

appearance and morphology of 

the deposit and how it affects 

the overall performance. As well 

as ensuring that the part or 

component is protected and 


COMPANY PROFILE 29 

performs to the highest standard 

possible, in some cases it is 

important that the end result 

looks aesthetically pleasing which 

is why further testing here is key. 

Supporting the customer. 

With a considerable amount of 

time and research going into the 

development of corrosion 

protection technologies, the 

industry and customers’ needs 

are always changing which in 

turn will change our priorities and 

determine how we can advance 

selective electroplating further. As 

a business SIFCO ASC helps 

customers to meet their selective 

plating requirements, by using 

engineering expertise and continuous 

innovation through R&D. 

This is important during the 

concept, design, and production 

phase of a project. Our process is 

a vital resource when you need 

to enhance, repair, and rebuild 

your critical components. We 

work closely with our customers 

to develop solutions to fulfil 

specific application requirements. 

Ultimately, plating can be used to 

repair, enhance, and increase the 

lifecycle of a product, protecting 

them against the onset and risk 

of corrosion, thereby improving 

performance and reducing 

component failure. 

The future of corrosion protection. 

There is so much more to learn 

when it comes to corrosion 

protection, particularly focusing 

on other types of materials and 

substrates that are less susceptible 

to corrosion. The use of titanium 

is one alternative that companies 

might look at, as it forms a 

natural protective layer of 

oxidation. Testing the effects of 

plating on titanium is ongoing, 

with the intended use of having 

natural corrosion protection plus 

the benefit of additional 

electroplated deposits on top that 

can serve a variety of purposes. 

The increasing use of titanium is 

in large part because it is inert, 

strong, and lightweight in 

comparison to steel. 

One other material that has 

been identified for plating on is 

graphite epoxy composite 

materials, which are conductive 

and very lightweight, and ideal 

for aerospace applications. This 

application presents similar 

challenges to plating on titanium 

and while some preliminary 

testing has been conducted, the 

results still need to be studied 

and developed further. Corrosion 

presents a significant challenge 

within engineering and 

manufacturing industries and 

scientists and corrosion 

prevention engineers are working 

hard to find ways to slow the 

process down. 

Innovations in corrosion 

protection processes and testing 

will continue to be a driving force 

for success. SIFCO ASC 

continues to focus its attentions 

on corrosion protection research 

and development, working 

closely with customers to develop 

effective solutions to their 

challenges. Corrosion will 

continue to present engineering 

and manufacturing challenges, 

but with advancements in plating 

technology such as with the 

ASCS more is being done to 

slow down and reduce the effects 

of corrosion.

Why your ultrasonic cleaning process is so important? 

Automated Inline Ultrasonic Cleaner 

Ultrasonic cleaners are wonderful 

pieces of equipment that can 

help you reduce costs, save time, 

increase effectiveness and beat 

some of the toughest cleaning 

challenges. 

Too good to be true? Well 

sometimes it can be. 

Ultrasonic cleaning is as 

good as the process it is used 

in. There are many examples 

of cleaning systems being 

used the wrong way leaving 

customers disappointed and 

frustrated. 

So how do you know that your 

process is correct? Some things 

can be more obvious than others, 

once you breakdown the stages 

of your cleaning. Let’s go 

through 5 things to check: 

• Handling – How is your 

component handled. Is it by 

an operator with dirty gloves 

or basket? It’s amazing how 

many people spend time 

getting a great clean, then 

contaminate a component 

with dirty gloves. We always 

recommend suitable jigs and 

baskets rather than manual 

handling. 

• Rinsing – Rinsing is key to 

the next process for the 

component you are cleaning 

and in some cases several 

rinses are required. Not only 

does rinsing remove any final 

contamination it also can be 

important to remove the 

chemical used in the clean, 

to prevent quality issues 

going forward. Rinsing in 

contaminated solutions once 

completing a clean is a massive 

process issue, but can be 

combated by using pre washes 

and filtration. 

• Chemical – Many customers 

have given up on ultrasonics 

when in fact they were just 

using the wrong the chemical. 

Always trial different chemicals 

to ensure the one you are 

using gives the best results. 

• Stages – There are some 

cleans that are going to require 

more than one stage. A part 

that has both oil and carbon 

contamination, may not be 

able to be cleaned with one 

solution, it may require various 

stages and chemicals. 

Understanding what your clean 

is and number of stages is vital 

to getting effective cleaning 

processes. 

• Time – Understanding the 

time required in an ultrasonic 

is important. Timing could be 

the difference between a good 

clean and a poor clean. The 

time shouldn’t just be left to an 

operator. Many of our systems 

include programmable cycles 

with alarms to ensure the 

process is being governed at 

all times.

you can improve your cleaning 

process, please contact us on

The Institute of Materials Finishing 

was founded in 1925, its title then 

being the Electroplaters and 

Depositors Technical Society. Its 

main purpose was to disseminate 

technical information on 

electrodeposition by means of 

technical publications, meetings and 

conferences. 

The area of interest broadened 

into all aspects of surface finishing on 

metal when it assumed the title of 

the Institute of Metal Finishing in 

1951. In 2013 the name was 

changed to the Institute of Materials 

Finishing to embrace all technologies 

of surface finishing on a much wider 

variety of materials.
