Pre-treating 12L14 Steel Prior To Zinc Plating
Regarding adhesion problems with Zinc plating over 12L14 steel, it is my understanding that pre-treating the material in a fluoboric acid bath should help eliminate the problem. What is the proper chemical make-up of the fluoboric acid bath? Also, what is the most desirable temperature and soak time when doing an adhesion bake after the Zinc plating process?
