Electroless nickle plating, and plugged holes...
Big time brain fart here, tap drilled some parts on the CNC, programmed
at the control. Typo put the holes a bit over .100 off location. An incoming phone call interrupted my inspection and I missed the mistake. Dang, when am I ever going to learn to ignore the damned phone when I'm doing something important... I tried last night, was able to plug two holes, redrill, and roll tap. It looks good, the repair will never be seen. Before I call the customer for approval, thought I'd ask about any potential issue with plating. Parts are 6061-T6, and get electroless nickle plating. Are there any potential issues with corrosion from chemicals seeping into any minute gaps? Biggest issue is time, parts are hot, Hot, HOT. If I can fix, can still finish today and deliver tomorrow. If I have to start over, won't be delivering until Friday... Thanks, Jon |

BTW, holes are blind. Plugging with approx .0005 interference fit pins,
heating parts enough I can get the pins started and driven home. Yeah, gotta move fast on that one... Jon |
