1.2.2 Metal Finishing Process Characterization
Exhibit 1-6 presents a portion of the
process data. Column 1 shows the process name. Column 2 indicates
the type of the process, either aluminum finishing, cleaning,
other (e.g., conversion coating and passivation), plating, solvent
cleaning, or stripping. The third column indicates the number
of respondents that employ each process and the last column indicates
the total volume of their process tanks. Collectively, the respondents
to the Users Survey operate 167 different types of metal finishing
processes. The 25 most frequently found processes are identified
in Exhibit 1-7 (excludes pre-plating, post-plating and stripping
processes).
