NCMS is seeking participants for a new forming project, Trivalent Chrome Phase II. This project will complete the initial work of Phase I, where the team developed a new chrome plating process using a trivalent chrome bath to replace the highly-toxic hexavalent chrome bath. The trivalent chrome process must produce hard chrome components that perform equally or better to the older process while still meeting all military specs.
In Phase II, rigorous testing will be performed of the trivalent process to determine its applicability as a viable replacement for hexavalent chrome plating.
The Air Force and NAVAIR are the primary sponsors of the project and additional project participants are welcome but must bring value to the collaboration.
