Finishing & coating
with a functional purpose.
Surface finishing changes a component's surface to improve appearance, performance, durability or other required properties.
The surface can be as important as the base material.
Finishing processes—including plating, polishing, buffing, electropolishing, chemical etching and coating—can alter a surface for economic, conservation, appearance or functional reasons.
A carefully selected finish can help preserve a component, allow a more economical base material to carry specialized surface properties, and improve the useful performance of metal products.
A controlled sequence from preparation through cure.
Surface Preparation
Prepare the component so the surface is smooth, clean and dry before application.
Coating Application
Apply the selected coating according to the component's purpose and service requirements.
Curing
Complete the process so the applied coating develops the intended finished properties.
Match the finish to the real operating environment.
The right coating depends on what the component must do, where it will operate and how long it is expected to remain in service.
