Several industries use metal finishing in their manufacturing processes including automotive, electronics, aerospace, heavy equipment and appliances. Its main process in precision presswork manufacturing.
Why is metal finishing so important? Without metal finishing, products made from metals would last only a fraction of their present lifespan because of corrosion and wear. Finishing is also used to enhance electrical properties, to form and shape components, and to enhance the bonding of adhesives or organic coatings.
Sometimes the finishes are used to meet consumer demand for a decorative appearance. Overall, metal finishing alters the surface of metal products to enhance:
» Corrosion resistance
» Wear resistance
» Electrical conductivity
» Electrical resistance
» Reflectivity and appearance
» Torque tolerance
» Solderability
» Tarnish resistance
» Hardness
Some of the materials used in metal finishing are solvents and surfactants for cleaning, acids and bases for etching, and solutions of metal salts for plating.
Metal finishing comprises a broad range of processes that are practiced by most industries which manufacture metal components and supply precision presswork and offer tooling solution.
Metal finishing can be any operation that alters the surface of a workpiece to achieve a certain property. Simple metal finishes include paint, ceramic coatings, and other surface treatments.
