NEW. proclucts minized ferrous materials. This breakthrough base coating can exponentially improve the corro- sion resistance and performance of marine engines, automotive power- train and components, appliances, cookware, and a variety of other industrial parts exposed to mois- ture, fuel, oil, and other environ- mental contaminants.

Alodine EC2 offers a hardness of 800 vickers, yet it is extremely flexi- ble. The coating provides an excellent base for paints, adhesives, sealants, and thermal spray coatings. With this product, traditional cleaning and shot-blast preparation are no longer required prior to thermal spray application. Alodine EC2 can dramatically improve the adhesion of sprayed materials.

FIBEROPTIC BORESCOPE Titan Tool Supply, Inc., Buffalo, N.Y., has rolled out its new TFS4-720 f lexible borescope. The new

borescope offers a high-resolution, 17,000-optical fiber imaging bundle with the capability of twisting the image bundle via a 90 ° mirror tip that allows a 360 ° view of the interi- or. According to the company, the new "twist & flex" fiberscope lea-

tures multi-coated, high-resolution optics that provide a sharp, clear image covering the entire field of view. The unit includes a 1.25-W high-intensity LED battery handle and 90 ° mirror tip to provide a com- plete portable inspection kit.

Designed for inspection of hard- to-access areas and quality control in aerospace, casting, fleet mainte- nance, and general manufacturing applications, the new TFS4-720 flex- ible borescope has a diameter of 0.170" (4.2 mm), flexible length of 28.35" (720 mm), a 45 ° field of view, and a focal length of 0.200" (5 mm) to infinity. An LED battery handle (3 AAA batteries) provides illumina- tion, and a 90 ° right-angle viewing tip is included. Maximum operating temperature is 150°F (66°C). The unit is waterproof, with oil- and fuel- resistant sheathing, and is packaged in a foam-fitted plastic carrying case for convenience and portability.

Accessories and options include a fiberoptic illuminator with a 150-W

MICROPOROUS NICKEL PROCESS MPS 300, from Atotech, initiates a new generation of microporous nick- el processes specially developed to improve corrosion protection in multilayer nickel systems for auto- motive applications.

Decorative coatings for exterior automotive applications usually require a high grade of corrosion protection, achieved through the use of multilayer nickel systems. Within the multilayer nickel/chrome system,

MPS 300 is applied as a final nickel layer following the bright nickel step. Newly developed pore inducers and supporting additives provide the uniform co-deposition of micro-par- ticles, producing a well-defined micro-porosity and, thus, a con- trolled corrosion attack in the subse- quent chromium layer.

MPS 300 is free of complexing agents, and it is suitable for plastic and metal-based applications. The potential (20-50 mV) as well as the pore count (5,000-50,000 p/cm ~) are adjustable, and it produces a brilliant

and haze-free deposit. MPS 300 sig- nificantly improves the overall corro- sion protection of all multilayer nickel systems. For more informa- tion, visit www.atotech.com.

XRF ANALYZER Oxford Instruments has announced the launch of a new, robust X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, the X-METSO00, for accurate and reli- able identification of metal alloys. The X-METS000 represents the fourth generation of Oxford Instruments' hand-held analyzers. This design experience, combined with Oxford Instruments' patented PentaFET detector technology, pro- vides fast analysis and lower detec- tion limits for all elements of interest.

The current high prices of com- modities metals, nickel in particular, make the accurate determination of alloy composition critical to the financial success of modern recycling operations. The X-METS000 quickly
