Surface Finishing Options for Sheet Metal Fabrication
Our superior surface finishes can make your custom sheet metal fabrication stand out even more. We offer a diverse range of finishing solutions to enhance the surface quality of your molds. These coatings also improve the mechanical strength and durability of your molds.
As Machined
Coming out of the machine after machining, our parts are cleaned of any sharp edges and burrs while retaining marks. Without any added material, the part had a surface roughness of 3.2 μm (126 μin).
Polishing
Working on metal and hard plastics, our polishing uses highly efficient machinery to get our parts between Ra 0.8~Ra0.1 for a cleaner surface.
Sand Blasting
Band blasting cleans the surface of any impurities and peels coating through the propelling of blast media streams over the parts.
Tumbling
Tumbling titanium smooths its surface, often resulting in a matte finish. It’s used for deburring or preparing titanium parts for further finishing or aesthetic enhancement.
Laser Carving
Helpful in brand recognition or parts organization, we use laser carving that applies various printing methods during full-scale production to quickly embed barcodes, lettering and logos on the parts.
Alodine
We use chromate conversion coating or alodine to protect titanium and other materials from corrosive elements, usually done before priming and painting parts.
Anodizing
To increase surface hardness and dissipate heat, we use anodizing techniques to enhance the look of parts and blend well for painting and priming.
Powder coating
We apply a thin layer of protective polymer with the corona discharge phenomenon to give our part a lasting finish that protects from impacts and prevents wearing down.
Brushing
Our brushing technique uses abrasive belts over the material to create diverse patterns that match the parts’ structure and color.
