While there have been many issues involving the environment, safety, and health, the inherent lubricity characteristic of this plating material has never been completely duplicated over a full range of applications. For instance, in salt water, a cadmium coating forms a protective cadmium chloride surface layer which is not sacrificial.
To ensure thread assemble ability of mating fasteners, the specified thread fit allowance in the inch series, divided by 6, provides the maximum coating thickness.
Usually coatings and platings are less expensive than employing an upgrade from a basic carbon steel to a premium material such as stainless steel. Coatings or platings may help to improve appearance, control torque tension, minimize thread seizure, and may serve as product identifiers.
The most accurate examination method is computed tomography (CT-scan). Here not only the dimensional compliance can be checked, but also for example. The density of the components.By coloring the test, deviation can be quickly recognized. This method makes particular sense in components with internal structures.
Yes and no. If one chooses a very "simply knitted" component, such as simple angles or brackets for example, you will definitely get away with the regular machining more cheaply.However, if one chooses a component, which is particularly emphasized by its complexity or bionic component geometry, one can achieve great savings.
