FAQs About Finishing

What is deburring, and why is it important?

Deburring is the process of removing sharp edges or raised areas (burrs) from metal parts after cutting or machining. It’s crucial for improving safety, enhancing part functionality, and preparing surfaces for further finishing or coating.

What types of surface finishes do you offer?

We provide various surface finishing options, including inline sanding, graining, orbital sanding, and alodining, to achieve the desired texture and appearance for your metal parts.

How does abrasive blasting enhance metal surfaces?

Abrasive blasting uses high-pressure compressed air to project a medium onto the metal surface, effectively cleaning, polishing, or finishing it. This process removes contaminants and prepares the surface for coatings or painting, promoting better adhesion and a consistent finish.

What is alodining, and when is it used?

Alodining is a chemical conversion coating process applied to aluminum surfaces to enhance corrosion resistance and improve paint adhesion. It’s commonly used in aerospace and automotive applications where durability and finish quality are critical.

Do you provide assembly services after finishing?

Yes, we offer comprehensive assembly services to ensure that all components fit and function together as intended. This step is performed before shipping to guarantee the final product meets your specifications.

How do your finishing services improve product quality?

Our finishing processes remove imperfections, enhance surface aesthetics, and prepare parts for additional treatments or coatings, resulting in improved product performance, durability, and appearance.

Can you handle both small and large production runs?

Absolutely. Whether you require a single prototype or a high-volume production run, our finishing services are scalable to meet your project needs.

Can I customize the type of finish for my project?

Yes, we offer customizable finishing options based on your project’s material, function, and desired appearance. Our team can recommend the best surface treatment to meet your specific performance and aesthetic goals.
