RFQ. We are looking to e-coat our explosion proof motor housing, however there are strict requirements that the flame paths need to be coating-free. I am looking to speak to any masking experts we can work with to devise a solution for masking these flame paths.

Steve, LongRFQ. I am a consultant looking for a supplier in L.A. California
Gilles CaronRFQ: I need an off-the-shelf nickel-iron alloy plating bath. For decades we used a scratch-built bath very successfully depositing 80-20 nickel iron. Another site is considering a process that requires the same deposit but they don't want to formulate/maintain/troubleshoot/etc. their own so they're looking for a packaged bath.
Bob DenneyRFQ. Does anyone know of zinc plating technical specialists with significant industry experience who could do some consulting work?
We are based in NJ.
RFQ: I would like a copper plating solutions which is capable of plating upwards of 10 um a minute on an electroformed surface. I know this is possible, as written from Schlesinger, Paunovic Modern Electroplating 5th edition pg 49:
"The tensile strength of copper deposited
with turbulent flow in a sulfate solution increased from 350
to 450MPa as the current density was raised from 100 to
300Adm^2, which increased the deposition rate from 25 to
75um/min."
Does anyone know of anywhere where I might find such copper plating baths? I am currently in the 1um/min range and much of the literature I am seeing points to this order of magnitude as the max possibility.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
RFQ: Need a used New Holland K-11 6" X 6" spin dryer or similiar.

Walter SommerRFQ: Hello,
We are a small Aerospace/Defense manufacturer including small precision components, terminals and eyelets.
To date we have performed simple dip/look Solderablity testing per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
Recently we've received requests for Solderablity testing per ITC/EIA-J-STD-002 (or equivalent).
Currently looking to have some small terminals tested per this standard. Can't find anyone on the internet so far. Our normal test facility, Element, in Huntington Beach, CA, has requested the specification for their consideration. But with so little demand we'd like to avoid purchasing the spec and providing to them.
Can anyone help? Thank you!
RFQ: Where can I find electropaint to be used to prepare organic materials for plating? I have woven large balls out of vines. They are very dry. I have been told to seal them with lacquer and then coat them with electropaint but have not been able to fid a source for the electropaint.
Raun NorquistRFQ: Good day,
I am trying to get some help with a galvanizing line here in Toronto. The problem is I need a specialist to come to the plant to help me with the issues that I am dealing with. Can anyone recommend me an experienced individual in galvanizing who is based in Toronto? I would really appreciate it! (It's really tough to explain over the phone...)
RFQ: I need a price on one gallon of TT-P-1757 Type I Class C Color Deep Yellow. If you cannot supply this material in this quantity, could you give me contact info for one of your distributors?

Kyle MaloneRFQ: My name is Stephanie Bailey, I live in Norfolk, VA, and I am getting married.
I am trying to find someone who could make a custom set of jewelry out of gold or rose gold-plated leaf skeletons, as I have always been fascinated by the beautiful specimens I have come across in my life. I will design the pieces, you will make it real. All designs will be, of course, under the guidance of the person making it (I realize that, as much as I might like it, no, you will not be able to make me a crown made of 7" ginko leaves that would rival the costumes of El Dorado).
This may seem a bit silly posting such a frivolous request to a serious industry message board, but I feel that is anyone knew the ins and outs of the craft of jewelry-quality metal plating, it would be you.
Thank you for your time.
RFQ: I am using copper sheet metal parts and would like to set up a "bright dip" tank; can you recommend a supplier to help me set this up?
Regards,
RFQ: I have an immediate and long term need for a very hard electroless palladium deposit, chemistry to produce this deposit. Approx. 900 HV, the harder the better, but no brittleness please. Hypophosphite reduced palladium is too soft, only around 500HV maximum. I've seen patents for other types of reducing agents which yield hard deposits but I can't find anyone to sell them. Does anyone know of a company selling such a thing?
Gary MeyerRFQ: We are a startup/new business hoping to use photocatalytic oxidation to remove VOCs for cleaning indoor air quality in commercial and institutional facilities.
So far, our structure is extruded aluminum mesh 4 ft x 8 ft. panel modules to build green/living/plant walls- coated for PCO reaction(?)
"One promising technology is ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) air cleaning, which has been under development for a number of years. PCO of gas-phase VOCs appears to be a promising alternative process for removing VOCs in HVAC systems. PCO devices utilize a honeycomb or similar high-surface monolith reactor coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2). But there is a cost problem because it's (PCO) expensive. Not everyone would be able to afford it. However cost is not the only issue. In indoor air applications, the PCO catalysts can become poisoned and deactivated. If the system is using a chemisorbent, which is expensive, maintenance will be more costly. "
I am looking for a person as an advisor/consultant.
Mike McCarthyRFQ: I am looking for a used Nordson Sure Coat gun or a used power supply, if anyone is parting one out. You can phone or e-mail me

58577. Looking for a broken rectifierMay 23, 2012RFQ: Hi, I recently saw at my work a rectifier and LOVED it and want it for a computer case. However, I can't have the rusted dirty thing sitting in storage. So, I'm hoping to find a broken rectifier. I don't need it to work, I don't even want what's inside it. You can keep the copper and all that junk inside it, as I only want the knobs and dials and buttons and stuff and the case.
