Coating

AI Thread Summary

Nickel phosphorus coatings, consisting of approximately 84.07% nickel and 14.17% phosphorus, are commonly utilized for tools and to minimize friction in moving parts. The presence of 1.76% iron may be due to sampling artifacts rather than a standard component of the coating. The discussion raises the possibility of confusion between nickel phosphorus coatings and powder coatings. Overall, nickel phosphorus coatings are recognized for their functional benefits in various applications. Understanding the composition and purpose of these coatings is essential for proper usage.

Are you referring to powder coating? Or something else?

Nickel Phosphorus coatings are used on tools, and some are used to reduce friction on moving parts.

Maybe the iron component is an artifact of sampling.

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
