Vibratory deburring and centrifugal barrel finishing can result in inadequate adhesion of electroplated metals. Fine particles of the abrasive metals and compounds used in these processes impregnate the exposed surfaces of the workpieces. If too many of these particles are in the workpiece surfaces, electroplated coatings fail to adhere properly. Ceramic bonded aluminum oxide media causes fewer adhesion problems than fused aluminum oxide media. The implications of impregnated material in other processes were also explored. 7 figures, 10 tables.
