How to measure reflectivity in a chrome-plated surface? Is there a specific tool for it?
Q. I'm working in a decorative chrome-plating industry, not (hard-chrome). I usually take service job of chrome-plating banquet chairs, wheel rims, mufflers, etc. Sometimes, the chrome-plating result is not as stable/constant in quality or satisfactory as I had expected (not shiny enough or not rust-resistant enough). So I need something to measure the quality by putting up a standard, which I hope that this measurement tool (if any) would help me.

How can I keep multiple instances of chrome from starting up and slowing down my computer?
Q. Once in a while my computer slows down significantly and when I go to the task manager, I find out it's because there are about 7 or 8 instances of Google Chrome open under "Processes" despite the fact that I only have one Google Chrome window open at the moment, as seen under the "Applications" tab. All of these instances of chrome end up taking up tons of memory and slowing down my computer. How can I keep this from happening?

A. My understanding of plating is some what limited but usually defects stem from dirt and contamination, either initially on the part to plated or in the solutions used. Cleanliness of the item can be evaluated by washing the part with denatured alcohol and doing a particle count using a microscope. Plating and wash solution need maintained to appropriate levels. The smoothness of the finish can be measured with a surf gage, something like a Pocket Surf or Hummel. Reflectivity could be measured but I am not aware of any products. Light sources would have to be controlled. My guess it would be laser based. The thickness of the plating can be made with a digital thickness gage, or measuring before and after plating. Seems like an Ultra… [cont.]

What should be used to clean chrome rims?
Q. I just bought a used car with chrome rims. They appear tarnished and have a dull bronze film on them. I assume break dust and grime. I tried some chrome polish but it didn't do much, it seems that I should clean them before I try and polish them. What is the best product to use? They are slightly pitted and I am guessing that is permanent, but would like them to look as nice as they can. Thanks in advance.

A. Chrome doesnt tarnish... so... that would tell me you have polished aluminum wheels... the only time chrome would pit is if its starting to rust... polish aluminum wheels will have pits from the casting... so my guess is you dont have chrome wheels, but polished aluminum, which are better in the sense that they wont ever rust and need rechroming, but require much more maintenance. Chrome is a very hard metal, and contact with flying debri wont cause them to pit, but instead chip... and pit and a chip are very different. a pit will look like someone took a an ice pick and hit the wheels, with chrome wheels, you would have straight sided chips in it.. so a pits sides would look like ~ but a chip would look like -. you should clean aluminum… [cont.]

How to paint chrome on black shinny plastic?
Q. So I am considering getting one of those digital picture frames for someone on my list, and I can't find any cheap chrome frames. Her house decor is all purple, silver, etc. So I was thinking that maybe I could purchase a black one I found that is inexpensive and paint chrome on it. How would I go about doing this and what is a good type of paint that would give it a nice chrome look on plastic? Thanks for any help!
Asked by Nicky - Fri Dec 12 01:17:50 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Chrome plating is a process that requires the right base, and involves the use of toxic chemicals and electrical charge. (I used to work in risk managment for a compnay that did plating work) Spray paint will only give you a "silver" painted finish. Keep the frame black . . . and chances are if they have any problems with it, you won't have voided the warranty by painting it. And the chances of paint damaging it are pretty good. . . .

How can I restore/clean the aluminum/chrome of the frame of a shower stall?
Q. I do not know whether the frame is made of aluminum or chrome; however, I have a feeling it's chrome. It has a matte finish and the shower doors are sliding doors. On the bottom of the frame, it looks like the metal has been corroded or rusted.. I tried scrubbing it off and using different cleaners; however, I was not successful. I am not sure if it is just limescale or if it is corrosion. Does anyone have a solution to this without having to get a new frame? Thanks!
Asked by Nate - Mon Aug 27 06:55:59 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's polished aluminum. If it were chromed it would be steel undernearth and the edges would rust where it was cut. Is it reddish? Then it is rust, If it's gray or greenish, it's aluminum. Use steel wool soap pads to clean the frame.

What's the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium?
Q. Is Chromium a different browser or the same as Chrome? If they are different, what are the advantages/disadvantages of Chromium over Chrome? Which one is better?
Asked by Love Boat Captain - Sun Aug 16 00:16:20 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They are essentially the same thing. Google Chrome is the end product designed for everyday use. Chromium is an opensource project to develop the code that runs Google Chrome. One thing to note, Google Chrome releases obtained via Google officially should be stable whereas code from the Chromium project is cutting edge and likely to be buggy. If you want a browsing experience that isn't riddled with bugs, go for Google Chrome. If you enjoy browser crashes and Flash memory and CPU usage being through the roof, you clearly need the bleeding edge untested code direct from the chromium project.

A. Take it out in a sunny day hmm .. You probably need a fixed source of light that dispenses full visible spectrum and you need to measure reflected / absorbed light. However a piece could absorb certain wave lengths (color ranges) and actually make it look brighter since the eye is more sensitive to some colors. Probably the cheapest scientific method would be to get a xenon automotive headlight bulb close to 5600K (same as sunlight and is pure white, 3200K is what you get with a standard house bulb and is very yellow) and a photography light meter. Put the light behind you pointed at the piece which would sit on black matte cloth and then point the light meter at the piece and measure the level reflected. If your eyes are good, you… [cont.]
