This is a finish of applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods.

This is a finish of applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods.
This finishing option with the shortest turnaround time. Parts have visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request.
Sand blasting uses pressurized sand or other media to clean and texture the surface, creating a uniform, matte finish.
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatmen
A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.
Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.
This is a finish of applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods.
