The Event for the Finishing Industry SUR/FIN is where leading surface technology companies connect, collaborate and contribute. It is the primary conference and trade show dedicated specifically to the surface technology industry. And because it is the only conference and trade show sponsored by the National Association for Surface Finishing (NASF)representing the $28 billion finishing industryit attracts noted business leaders and prominent thinkers to a forum where relevant issues are addressed and technologies presented. http://www.nasfsurfin.com/

NASF represents the interests of businesses, technologists and professionals in the surface coatings industry. Its highly regarded programs and activities are informed by NASF’s mission to: 1. Advance an environmentally and economically sustainable future for the finishing industry. 2. Promote the vital role of surface technology in the global manufacturing value chain. 3. Community: The NASF community links companies, professionals and technical experts together through its ...events, programs, updates and key committees, and serves the total surface finishing sector. https://lnkd.in/eCqdYYQ

Sheffield Plater's has been very active in the Metal Finishing industry for decades. Dale Watkins has been on the Board of directors of the Metal Finishing Association of Southern California (MFASC) for more than a decade and just recently was president of MFASC for a two-year term. Sheffield's executive team is a firm believer that getting involved and advocating for the Metal Finishing industry and small business is a critical component of running a successful and sustaina...ble small business. MFASC has been on the tip of the spear when it comes to advocating of the Metal finishing industry for over 7 decades. Sheffield Platers and their executive team is also very involved on a national level through NASF, National Association of Surface Finishing. NASF works tirelessly to ensure the sustainability of metal Finishing throughout the country.

Sheffield Platers and Others Seeking Replacement For Military, Aerospace Connector Coatings. Situated in what could arguably be one of the most picturesque set- tings for a high-tech plating shop, Sheffield Platers is in pursuit of what some may call the Holy Grail of connector plating: coming up with a suitable replacement for cadmium coatings on electrical connectors used by many U.S. military organizations. Our goal is to not only investigate the chemistries already in the marketplace, but to also introduce into testing our own multi-layer coatings we have worked on to replace the cadmium components, says Dale Watkins, half of the brother owner- ship duo who has turned Sheffield Platers into one of the most well- respected shops in the U.S. https://sheffieldplaters.com//Sheffield-Platers-Product-Fi

An explanation of Electroless Nickel Plating: Electroless nickel (EN) plating is a chemical reduction process which depends upon the catalytic reduction process of nickel ions in an aqueous solution (containing a chemical reducing agent) and the subsequent deposition of nickel metal without the use of electrical energy. Due to its exceptional corrosion resistance and high hardness, the process finds wide application on items such as valves, pump parts etc., to enhance the life of components exposed to severe conditions of service ,particularly in the oil field and marine sector. With correct pretreatment sequence and accurate process control , good adhesion and excellent service performance can be obtained from EN deposited on a multitude of metallic and non-metallic substrates.

SPI E-Nickel PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is an electroless nickel composite plating process that co-deposits Teflon, at 20 to 25% by volume as occluded particles in the plated coating. The sub-micron PTFE particles become firmly imbedded throughout the nickel deposit. Unlike topical coatings of Teflon, this unique composite allows for renewed Teflon at the surface even as the coating wears. This chemical plating process is specially designed to produce a consistent amou...nt of uniformly dispersed PTFE throughout the nickel deposit in order to ensure optimum performance in high friction and non-lubricated applications. This coating can be stripped from parts with no attack of the base metal. Components with complex shapes are especially well served since the process provides a conformal coating. With a coating range of .00005 to .001 thick, the typical coating thickness of .0002 .0003 is suitable for most applications. See more
