Porosity Testing in Metal Plating: Why Small Voids Can Mean Big Problems
In high-stakes industries like aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing, plating serves an important role. Plated finishes safeguard against corrosion, ensure conductivity, and extend the lifespan of mission-critical components. But hidden within even the most carefully applied coatings can be microscopic voids known as porosity. These seemingly minor imperfections can create outsized problems if left undetected, […]
