Re: Chrome stripping
The story so far:
I had a reasonable amount success this morning. As stated before the hydrochoric shifts the chrome with ease. The nitric acid has, indeed, dissolved both the nickel and copper layers. The base alloy shows no visible sign of reaction and can be quickly and effectively neutralised due to the rapid effect of the acids. One problem I did not consider was the exisitng, natural erosion of the already exposed base alloy. This has left a very slightly uneven surface but I am confident this can be sorted with the polishing wheeel and suitable compound.
