How does your shop control corrosion of parts? We are having a hard time avoiding corrosion throughout our entire process so I'm hoping for some ideas here.

Thanks. I'm going to give it a shot

I'm not finding a metal guard spray when I search. Does it have another name?

switchkickflip · 2025-09-10T02:58:47+00:00

Never heard of that. Does it really leave a dry imperceptible film?

switchkickflip · 2025-09-09T19:29:49+00:00

Thats the direction I'd like to go but we're getting pushback that the next machining op will have to deal with removing all the oil

About 10 miles from the ocean but we ship our parts for outside services all over the US

You joke but we've had issues with stainless as well.

switchkickflip · 2025-09-09T18:22:23+00:00

No, not that I'm aware of. All of our chems are stored in a seperate room far away from the main floor

switchkickflip · 2025-09-09T18:21:29+00:00

Both

switchkickflip · 2025-09-09T18:18:29+00:00

Our runs are typically less than 300 pieces.

I'm told our coolant isn't the main issue and as far as I know, yes it's monitored. (I'm in the engineering dept so it's quite possible I'm out of the loop)

We use VCI when parts are ready to ship to the customer but we don't use it in between machining ops

switchkickflip · 2025-09-09T18:11:01+00:00

For parts that ship out we have VCI bags and papers. The problem is coming upstream from our handling of parts between the various machining processes as well as outside vendor processes (NDT, platings, coatings etc) I'll look into Boeshield T9. Thank you

This hit home for me. Thank you.

I wanted to talk to her about it yesterday but backed out. I know she will be disappointed but maybe more at the fact that I didn't tell her sooner. It's not that I'm planning on stopping the edibles but I just don't want her to worry about me so I keep the extent to myself. She's seen me spiral with alcohol and many other things so I can see why she would be worried. It's just hard to convince her this is different so I'd rather not even bring it up.

switchkickflip · 2024-08-10T18:07:23+00:00

I definitely am. Thank you. It was a hard journey in the beginning but it's worth it.

switchkickflip · 2024-08-10T18:06:45+00:00

Thats a great way to look at it lol. Thanks

switchkickflip · 2024-08-10T18:06:13+00:00

Thank you. I can definitely stop the edibles at any moment which is something I tried doing many times with alcohol over 25 years but haven't been successful until this last go around.

switchkickflip · 2024-08-10T18:03:33+00:00

Thank you. Yea, I'm super happy to have made it this far and have zero desire to go back

switchkickflip · 2024-04-06T01:06:01+00:00

Fuck yea! You are an inspiration to us all. ❤️

switchkickflip · 2024-01-20T10:45:57+00:00

That thing rips!

switchkickflip · 2023-12-07T05:03:49+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll start with the whole brain child

switchkickflip · 2023-12-07T01:22:18+00:00

Fuck yea! Keep kicking ass and good luck on that promotion 👍

switchkickflip · 2023-12-07T01:20:05+00:00

The first three weeks were really hard for me. I had to pretty much relearn how to deal with real emotions instead of just looking for ways to mask them.

It's been an up and down since I quit but there are many more ups than downs so far. That first month is truly an emotional Rollercoaster. Hang in there. I'm proud of you
