Different Surface Finishing for Various Metal Surfaces
The standard finish of a part refers to its initial surface appearance right after manufacturing—whether it’s been ejected, machined, printed, or cast. At this stage, the part typically shows visible tooling marks, and may retain traces of resin, powder, or other materials depending on the production process used.
CNC Machined Parts
CNC machined parts often undergo surface treatments to boost corrosion resistance, increase durability, and enhance visual appeal. Processes such as anodizing, plating, and powder coating help shield components from environmental wear, minimize friction, and extend service life. They are essential to ensure consistent performance of precision parts in high-demand sectors like aerospace and automotive.
Rapid Tooling Parts
Surface treatments play a crucial role in rapid tooling by enhancing durability and minimizing wear during high-speed production. Coatings such as nitriding or chrome plating reduce friction, improve mold release, and increase surface hardness. These enhancements help ensure consistent part quality, extend tool lifespan, and maintain accuracy in prototyping and short-run manufacturing.
3D-Printed Parts
3D-printed parts typically have rough surfaces that require post-processing methods such as sanding, coating, or chemical smoothing to enhance both appearance and strength. These surface treatments improve resistance to moisture, UV exposure, and chemicals. As a result, the parts meet both functional and aesthetic standards required in applications like medical devices and consumer products.
Die-Casted Parts
Die-cast parts require surface treatments to protect against corrosion, boost durability, and enhance their appearance. Techniques such as electroplating and powder coating apply protective coatings, increase surface hardness, and create smooth finishes. These treatments are vital for high-volume components in industries like automotive and electronics, where both performance and aesthetics are crucial.
Sheet Metal Fabrications
Surface treatments are essential for sheet metal fabrications to prevent rust, promote better paint adhesion, and increase durability. Methods such as galvanizing, powder coating, and anodizing form protective barriers against environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting performance in applications like construction and HVAC systems, while delivering a polished and attractive appearance.
Extruded Parts
Extruded components, commonly crafted from aluminum or plastics, benefit from surface treatments such as anodizing or powder coating to enhance corrosion resistance and surface hardness. These processes also improve their visual appeal and wear resistance, making them ideal for applications in architecture, automotive, and industrial sectors where both durability and finish are essential.
