April 5, 2013

RFQ: Have a railing project from a customer here in south Texas. Parts need to be clear anodized but the components (rails) are over-sized for the typical 5-6' locally available anodizing tanks.

59228. Plated finish on 3D-printed nylon Santa suit coat buttons (Jewelry)

April 4, 2013

RFQ: Using 3D software, we've designed some new 39 mm diameter (1-3/8-in) buttons for our button front Santa coat. These have been printed in white, fine detail plastic (nylon) by Shapeways. Our goal was to use these as a master for sand-casting in bronze, then to be plated in various specified finishes, but there is too much tiny detail and not enough drafting to allow for sand-casting. While we are investigating some jewelry investment casting ideas (and would welcome suggestions) we are afraid they will be too pricey to be commercially viable for resale. OK for my own suit, but not cheap enough to add any markup and sell to other discriminating Santas.

One idea is to take the printed plastic version and plate it. Obviously there are varying methods, including a hobby approach with copper or silver-like spray finish and then plate, but I am thinking that a commercial finish would be a much better solution, both for strength and appearance. The goal is to develop a product that is still affordable.

A plastic-based button has the advantage of avoiding all the weight of a cast brass, stainless, gold button, but some may not view it as 'good' or durable. However, design and finish and price may be enough to sway the naysayers. Printed in stainless in 3D and plated costs at least $50/ea without markon.

Does your company plate plastics like this? Can we do batches of 12-18 pieces economically? Do you have the capability to provide different finishes, or at least a 18-24k gold finish? Would a PVD finish on top of a nickel or copper plating be a good option? Please advise and help keep the spirit in the jolly old elf in the red suit.

59101. Want Neo Chrome Aurora Coating/Plating Process

December 26, 2012

RFQ: I've seen many pictures of an 'aurora' or 'neo chrome' process that's becoming increasing popular in the last few months. From paintball to automotive, this process really seems to turn heads.

I work at a precision machine shop in Knoxville, TN. We are 9001 certified, and do a large amount of work for companies like Siemens Medical, Proctor & Gamble, Toyota Automotive, etc etc. Some of our customers are now asking for this type of coating, and we would like to be able to offer this on 6061 and 7075 Aluminum, as well as CRS.

To start off, I would like to learn more about this process. From my understanding, the parts are chromed, then Titanium Dioxide is added and hit with a high voltage electric current?

If you or a shop you know does this type of work, please let us know. You can contact me directly.

59067. Weather & UV-resistant bulk coating for small parts that may "nest"

November 27, 2012

RFQ: I need to blacken aluminum "washers" for my solar product.

Aesthetics are not very important, the parts just need to look black and stay black. Most of them will not be seen and those that are seen will be viewed from several feet away, on rooftops.

The real trick is that they tend to nest because they are almost flat. This, and the cost of racking eliminates paint as an option. The size is 1 inch by 1.25 inch.

My research seems to be leading to CED/e coat. I just need a vendor with the experience who can promise UV stability as well as the right chemistry/process to avoid nesting of the parts.

The parts will be treated in lots of 10 - 25 thousand.

It would be nice if the vendor were close to Colorado or in the Midwest to save on shipping charges between myself and the part vendor.

Please reply with your suggestions, previous experience and ballpark pricing. I am aware that a test run may be necessary to find the right process. Thanks

October 8, 2012

RFQ: We are looking for a metal finisher that does Phosphoric Acid Anodising to the
AIPS 02-01-006 Airbus Standard.

We are looking for someone that does this treatment ONLY in the USA (Canada is OK too); West Coast USA or California would be even better so we can witness your process beforehand/concurrently. After this trial, our presence is no longer required.

We will have you treat the metal as this standard calls for on flat 4" x 6" 2024T3 Aluminum. We will probably be doing 10 to 20 of these coupons.

If you happen to also do CAA & SAA we will also give you about 10 to 20 other metal coupons for each treatment as well. We may repeat this order up to 3 times over the next 18 months to 3 years.

We would like to pay by credit card. If you were the only game in town, and only took Purchase Orders, then we would make that happen.

We would require "travelers" for the groups of panels as they go through their process, and an invoice for work done along with certs. Proper credentials (e.g. ISO, NADCAP) required.

Thank you.

58914. Gold Finishing for Brass Purse Hardware

September 25, 2012

RFQ: Hello! I'm a handbag designer of a start-up high end brand. I need custom brass hardware with a gold finish for my first collection but minimums for most hardware suppliers are **too high and/or too expensive** and those that offer small minimums are often low quality and do not have the right gold finish. Is there somewhere I can send a small quantity of brass hardware to be "finished"? Are there any foundries that will cast low quantities of hardware from samples? Thank you in advance.

58903. Need copper flash, copper, nickel, chrome on to zinc base metal

September 20, 2012

RFQ: My parts used in my art are seen on TV.....I had a great plater for 20 years and he got sick/retired. The company he was with told me they no longer want to do "decorative chrome" on my parts. My parts are brass, alum. and a lot of zinc. This guy was magic and I can not seem to find anyone else to do my parts correctly. I need a plater badly, not badly plated or I will go under. I do not know what his magic first steps were and I need someone that knows.
One company sends me bubbles and another orange peel. Usually it has been just bubbles.
Can anyone do these right, at reasonable costs?

58903

These photos shows a perfect part (cop fl, br cop, nic, chrome onto zinc!!!) I used to get and what I am getting from others. I really can't believe the orange peel was sent back, I would rather hear the part was destroyed.

RFQ: Dear Sir / Madam

We are looking for an electrogalvanizing company that can accommodate high volumes.
We are an international company with production lines in Europe, Asia, and North America.

Currently we have high volumes of copper bars to electrogalvanize with 10 micron tin, that means Cu/Sn12 DIN 50965. See attached a bar that represents the average size of our bars. You should know that we also have bars that are smaller and larger than the one in the attachment.
At present we have approximately 2000 copper bars a week.

In the future, around November, we would like to electrogalvanize aluminum bars of approximately the same size as indicated in the attached drawing. The aluminum bars must be electrogalvanized with 3 micron Nickel and 10 micron tin, that means Al/Ni3/Sn10 EN1403.
There will be approximately 1000 aluminum bars a week.
Would this be of interest to your company? If so, please let me know and we can proceed from there.
Kind regards.

58757. Help with restoration of antique plated ship sails

August 1, 2012

RFQ: Hi,
I recently inherited an antique ship mantle clock dating to the 1930's or 40's that has sails made out of what I believe is copper with a silver or chrome plating on top. I'm not really sure what I have so I'm not really sure what I need. I want to get these restored if it is feasible from a cost perspective. I've attempted cleaning and rust removal with some success but it still does not look good enough. The metal was fairly oxidized in places, had rust and a green colored coating which is why I am assuming copper is underneath.

58757-1 58757-2 58757-3 58757-4

First, how can I tell what the plating is? (i.e. chrome, silver, stainless?) From what I have read here, there is certainly a difference in the time, process, and chemicals involved in re-plating so I would assume the price to restore would differ as well.

Second, if anyone is interested in providing a quote to complete this work, I would very much appreciate it. I understand smaller things like this might not be worth the time but the pure sentimental value of this item requires that I at least inquire and this seems like the right place for that.

Many thanks,
Bill

I know the plating will not be cheap for such a small piece but I am hoping that someone in this forum will be able to work this into a larger batch so I will not be charged so much.
Thanks in advance
Daniel

58568. Need brass or brass-like plating of Rifle receiver

May 22, 2012

RFQ. I would like to electroplate my receiver on a Rossi lever action rifle. I want it to have a "brass" look to it. I'm concerned that if the process adds to much "thickness" to the receiver that it won't function properly. Any businesses in the Fort Worth area that can do this sort of thing? Thanks, Bob

58559. Refinish Worn Brass Bathroom Fixtures

May 18, 2012

RFQ. I have two set of worn bathroom shower fixtures that I need to replace or refinish. While I could get new sets for relatively inexpensively; the cost to replace the internal hardware will be at the very least, hundreds of dollars. My best bet is to refinish. I am OK with chrome or brass. I have had a hard time locating a refinish shop in Houston. Can you you provide any contact for refinish my shower fixtures? They don't have to be in Houston. I want someone who is very good and reputable.

Thank you,

58540. Need 1 inch round aluminum tube bent and anodized

May 15, 2012

RFQ. Hello, I need 1 inch in diameter round aluminum tube 6 to 8 feet long, first bent into a 130 degrees arc then anodized black. I'm in New York, I will use it to shoot a film, I'm looking for someone to make it for me locally preferably. My budget is limited so please quote low. It doesn't have to be exactly 1 inch in diameter, I have my other hardware to attach to it fairly flexible, as far as length the closer to 8 feet the better, but it will work even a little under 6 feet as well.

In addition it can be made of two pieces half the total length then put together using a connector (simply 5 - 8 inch long piece of slightly larger in diameter tube going outside of the main tubes).

April 12, 2012

RFQ: I have a precision machined 6061 aluminum chassis, about 2" x 4" x .25", that has a .36" diameter C110 copper plug pressed into it. I need this part plated in its entirety with 100-200 µin electroless nickel and 30-50 µ in electrolytic gold. I assume this is somewhat problematic because the part is bi-metallic. Can you plate this part? I could use electrolytic nickel instead of the electroless nickel if necessary. A copper layer under the nickel would be OK as well.
