Dr. Rao, we've put a '2nd Request' notation on your inquiry; that's all we can do from this end. The operators of finishing.com do not have the expertise to answer every question--we just post them.

But as a general rule we find that if the inquirer takes the time to describe in detail what they're trying to do and what worked and isn't working, so that a reader can learn something from his/her investment of time, the inquiry will usually be answered.

Dr., What you are asking is extremely difficult. Most people will consider that if you asked, you do not know enough about plating for a technical answer. The short answer is it will flake off the first time you flex it. Also note that you did not say ID or OD or both. That also makes a massive amount of difference.
