A few members have asked me to put together a run since there have been over a 2 years gap since the last one. Unfortunately due to my recent personal activity, I was not able to do so at the moment.
Now that my shop is partially back together, and work have provide a little breather from Euro-travel, I hope to bring offer this service again to bring some nice stocking for this xmas season.
The first run was done here. It took ~ 6 weeks from start to finish.
The last run took about 8 weeks, so there should be no different for this.
The service includes #8 mirror polishing, machine (lathe/mill) work modification, and most important of all the plating/deposition.
The surface coating are available based upon the substrate (based material).
For aluminum/brass/stainless steel/ti basically any metals we can coat them with Nickel, Chrome, Gold, and HAIII.
For harder metal (higher melting point such as stainless steel & titanium we can get to the really hard stuff such as TiN, TiCN, AlTiN, and the "C".
Here is a brief explanation of each coating.
Mil SpecQQ-N-290 Nickel Plating - corrosion resistance, surface hardness 46-50 RC.
Hard Chrome - bright & shinny silver, surface hardness 65-70 RC.
Bright Gold - 24K gold finish, great corrosion resistance (eg, brass or copper substrate).
Splash Anodize - Multi-color Type II anodization.
Ti-Nitride - 14K gold color, low friction, 80+ RC (2500-3000 Vickers).
Ti-Carbo-Nitride - gray/copper color, low friction, 90+ RC (3000-3700 Vickers).
Al-Ti-Nitride - purple/black color, low friction, 90+ RC, 2nd hardest coating available of the list behind diamond.
"C" aka Diamond - can we even afford this? most likely not!
HAIII - well how can you not know about this.
