The stuff that would protect sheared edges was 'Terneplate' in UK. The plating is an alloy (tin/lead?) and the process is not all that cheap, IIRC. But the overall cost can be at least competitive with post-plating and is perhaps more environmentally-friendly. It may be that lead-free platings are now used, and these may be less effective at protecting sheared edges. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
