Finishing Services
We offer a number of post-processing and surface finishing services for CNC machined, sheet metal, 3D printed and injection moulded parts. Post-processing improves the characteristics of the parts: their surface roughness, general durability, corrosion resistance, or their appearance.
Coating services
Galvanic Zinc
- Purpose: Zinc coating (galvanisation) protects parts from rusting.
- Materials: This method is suitable for steel and iron.
Nickel & Chrome
- Purpose: Nickel and chrome coatings (plating) are often used for decoration, anti-corrosion purposes or to increase surface hardness.
- Materials: these methods are suitable for parts out of all metals.
Anodising: Hard & Colour
- Purpose: Anodising protects parts from corrosion, provides their durability, and makes parts non-conductive. Parts can be dyed upon anodising.
- Materials: anodising is suitable only for aluminium and titanium.
Surface finishing
Polishing
- Purpose: polishing is used to remove marks left from CNC-machining, contamination and oxidation and improve appearance of the parts.
- Materials: applicable for all materials.
Blasting
- Purpose: bead blasting is used mainly for improving appearance characteristics of ready parts.
- Materials: applicable for all materials.
Painting & Powder coating
- Purpose: powder coating is used to increase smoothness of surfaces and make parts resistant to corrosion. Powder coating can be also used for colouring purposes.
- Materials: applicable for all materials.
Heat treatment
Quenching and tempering
- Purpose: quenching is used to increase surface hardness of parts. Tempering reduces brittleness of the parts.
- Materials: this method is suitable mainly for steel alloys.
Normalising and tempering
- Purpose: normalisation or annealing process eliminates stresses from CNC machined parts, which stabilizes mechanical properties of the parts, while tempering reduces brittleness of the parts.
- Materials: stress relieving is suitable for all alloys. Tempering is suitable for only steel alloys.
