Material selection for fabrication is a crucial process. Considering the cost of materials, the wear, the flexibility, the access… deciding on materials depends on so much more than just what is cheap and what is available. Luckily, the accessibility of plated...
As one might guess, there is no “one-size-fits-all” to mold coating, and different applications or situations call for different solutions. Even the most common coatings can cause issues during molding when used incorrectly, and unfortunately, these problems aren’t...
Progress for Industry, Inc. specializes in metal plating and finishing for the molding industry. With a variety of different metal finishes available to suit the specific applications and industries for which the final parts will be used. Electroless nickel plating,...
Metal, specifically steel, is pervasive in modern society. It is the building block of cities and towns. Corrosion works to reduce metal structures back to their original state of ore, making the metal weaker and more susceptible to damage—which can ultimately lead to...
In modern society, fasteners are ubiquitous. The materials that create the structures of our cityscapes and rural communities alike are an integral part of modern life. The fasteners holding these materials together, while often taken for granted, are vital to the...
High chloride environments, moisture, salt spray, oxidation, and exposure to environmental or industrial chemicals all contribute to the corrosion of metals. Corrosion affects the integrity of the metals and has a staggering impact on the global economy with costs of...
