"Gauges" is a slang term for large gauge plug jewelry. Technically "gauge" is the measure of the thickness of any type of body jewelry, including standard earring posts.
You need to make usre that the surface you are trying to chrome can accept plating.
silver plating is a liquid before it dries. another silver colored liquid used on jewelry is also called rhodium flashing or plating,which causes stones to pop,or aka stand out more.
Depends on the person
Slip gauges, also known as gauge blocks, are typically made of high-quality steel or ceramic materials to provide accurate measurements. They are precision ground to very exact dimensions and have a specific surface finish to ensure their reliability and accuracy in measuring. Additionally, slip gauges may have a chromium plating to protect against corrosion and wear.
To apply hard chrome plating on Inconel, the Inconel substrate should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared before plating. Then, a layer of nickel is typically plated onto the Inconel surface before applying the hard chrome plating. The hard chrome plating process involves using an electrolytic solution and applying a specific current and voltage to deposit the chrome layer onto the Inconel substrate. This process helps enhance the surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the Inconel part.
To prevent pitting porosity in hard chrome plating, it is important to properly clean and prepare the surface before plating to remove any contaminants. Ensure that the plating solution is free of impurities and properly maintained. Use appropriate plating parameters such as current density, temperature, and duration to achieve a smooth and uniform deposit. Regularly inspect and maintain plating equipment to prevent issues that may lead to pitting porosity.
it is a plating of immersion
Sometimes
No its not. 89-91 have a different plug than 92-94 some 91's have the newer needle style gauges with the tach and the older style plug but this cluster is rare.
This will depend on the material you are interested in plating with. As the price of gold goes up, even plating with gold will become more and more expensive. Plating with silver will be less pricey than plating with gold.
The main difference between alkaline zinc plating and cyanide zinc plating is the type of bath used in the plating process. Alkaline zinc plating uses an alkaline electrolyte solution, while cyanide zinc plating uses a cyanide-based electrolyte solution. Alkaline zinc plating is considered more environmentally friendly compared to cyanide zinc plating, which contains toxic cyanide compounds.
