About This Webinar
Pickling is a common and essential step as part of the pretreatment process for substrates like steel. It helps to ensure that inorganic contaminants on base material are removed leaving a suitably clean surface for subsequent surface finishing or coating processes.
Pickling of steel typically includes the use of strong acids which remove inorganic contaminants but can also have negative side effects on the workpieces themselves. One undesirable effect can be excessive attack of the base material which could also lead to surface roughening causing quality issues with subsequent coating processes. Another negative effect is the diffusion of atomic hydrogen into the crystal lattice of the steel during pickling that can lead to hydrogen induced embrittlement of the finished part.
Inhibitors are commonly used to help minimize the negative effects of strong acid pickling. They act by forming a protective layer on the substrate to prevent attack and hydrogen ingress.
This webinar will explain the basic principles of pickling, hydrogen embrittlement and how pickling inhibitors work. We will introduce a next generation inhibitor that effectively suppresses attack on the base material, hydrogen formation and diffusion into the steel lattice, including test results.

About This Webinar
.The hard chrome plating process is a very mature technology. Since its development 90 years ago, it has been used with success in a vast range of industries. Typical uses include highly stressed components in the automotive and heavy machinery industries, in aircraft construction, shipbuilding and engineering.
The high speed, closed loop processing in low process temperatures provides vast advantages like size flexibility and plating of inner surfaces among others. Due to various surface requirements differing in thickness, wear resistance, tribological properties, corrosion resistance and other secondary functional characteristics numerous process operations have been developed. As a leading supplier of hard chrome processes, Atotech has built up a wealth of experience over decades to develop optimal products and best practices for these diverse requirements.
We would like to share this knowledge with you and invite you to our webinar on "Best practice for hard chrome plating".
Thorsten Ross and Shakeel Akhtar will unfold the most successful and economic processes for diverse hard chrome applications.

In recent years new energy vehicles (NEVs), with their promise of reducing pollution and conserving our energy reserves, have raced into the mainstream.
Not only has E-mobility changed the source of energy for propulsion but it has also stimulated the automotive industry to introduce new materials with the focus on reducing vehicle weight and thereby enhancing fuel and energy efficiency. In order to fulfil such new demands several key areas for future cars will need modifying, such as; increased corrosion protection performance, new friction and heat loosening requirements for fasteners as well as new specifications for multiple mounting.
To achieve these changes a major part of the automotive architecture needs to be redesigned, creating opportunities throughout the supply chain.
This webinar will give you an overview of various changes expected in automotive design and will focus on some of the changes and opportunities for the plating industry.
