Surface Finishing Options for Aluminum Machining
NOBLE has more than ten years of experience in surface treatment and excellent engineers, who are proficient in surface treatment of plastics, metals, and composite materials, and can turn your dream prototype or parts into reality.
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).
Sand Blasting
Sand blasting cleans the surface of any impurities and peels coating through the propelling of blast media streams over the 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.
Electroplating
Electroplating reduces metal cations in the electrolyte solution, producing a metallic coating on a metal surface. This process can be used for purposes of corrosion and wear resistance, as well as for decorative purposes.
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.
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.
Painting
Painting involves Spray droplets can be dispersed uniformly or in fine amounts to cover a wide surface area and bring out greater color to the part.
Black Anodized
Adding layers to metallic surfaces like steel, our black anodized technique improves appearance while maintaining durability.
Alodine
We use chromate conversion coating or alodine to protect aluminum and other materials from corrosive elements, usually done before priming and painting parts.
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.
