Satin chrome??
Hi all,
I have heard that the finish commonly seen on micrometers etc is called 'satin chrome'. Is that correct, and can I produce that sort of finish in a home workshop? If so, what do I need? Is there any limitation on the metal type - I would want to use normal (mild) steels, and stainless 304 / 316.
I have seen reference to glass bead blasting and cross-contamination problems i.e. beads that have been used on one material leaving traces of that material when used to blast something else. Is that likely to be a problem in my application?
A heap of questions, I know, but I haven't had much luck finding a 'how to' on the web or groups.
TIA
Roger
