Home > Capabilities > Surface Finishing
Surface finishing is commonly used to improve corrosion resistance, durability, and appearance of parts.
Why is Surface Finishing Important?
Surface finishing is crucial for enhancing both the performance and appearance of parts. It protects materials from corrosion, wear, and environmental damage while also improving aesthetics.
Whether it’s adding a smooth polish or applying a protective coating, surface finishing extends the lifespan of products and ensures they meet industry standards.
Common Surface Finishing Techniques and Their Benefits
We offer a variety of surface finishing processes, each tailored to specific applications and materials. Here are some common techniques:
Anodizing
A protective oxide layer is applied to metals like aluminum, improving corrosion resistance and allowing for vibrant color finishes.
Powder Coating
A dry powder is electrostatically applied and cured under heat, creating a durable and colorful finish that resists chipping and fading.
Electroplating
A metal coating, such as chrome or nickel, is applied to a part through an electric current, increasing durability and adding a reflective finish.
Polishing
A mechanical process that smooths surfaces to a high shine, ideal for parts where aesthetics and low friction are critical.
Passivation
This chemical process improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing surface contaminants.
Painting
Industrial-grade paints provide protection and custom color finishes for a wide range of materials.
