Broad ranging coverage of aluminum finishing, covering mechanical finishing, racking, cleaning, anodizing, coloring, and sealing. Addresses troubleshooting, safety, QA, process control, design of the line, aluminum cathodes, and recovery of wastes.
Also chapters on electroplating, conversion coatings, organic finishing, powder coating, and porcelain enamel.
Includes a short chapter on magnesium finishing.
A very "accessible", "hands-on" treatment of the subject.
No book dealer wants to deal with possibly missing pages, so books that were published as looseleaf binders like this are Very Very hard to find!
If you absolutely must see this book, WorldCat lists one single copy in the world at Iowa State University,Parks Library Ames, Iowa, United States, but it wouldn't surprise us if New Brunswick Plating [a finishing.com supporting advertiser] also has a copy.
(If you can't find it, consider Robert Probert's "Aluminum How-To". It's not quite the same thing, but the style and depth are at least along the same lines, and finishing.com has sold nearly 900 copies over the years without a single return request.)
