For those of you who'd like to see more standards on surface treatments, the following may be of interest:

We'll review more standards on various coatings and treatments in future blogs.  In the meantime, we're pleased to see manufacturing recovering here in the U.S.  The announcement that Motorola will have a phone assembly plant in Texas is more good news for the sector.  And the resurgence in the U.S. automotive industry has also been a big plus for our customers.  With increased activity in these sectors, we can expect the many machine shops Document Center supports to see their revenues continue to increase.
