Hi all, this is sort of a finishing technique so here goes:
What plating proccesses can be used on engine studs (into alluminium) for protection/beautifying?
Also what plating can be done to 4130 steel for the above reasons?
Can you paint over plated parts safely and successfully?
I am worried about embrittlement of the parts and also of electrolysis on the studs.
Any help would be useful, thanks.
John :)
