Surface treatment process

Picture: Mirror Polished

Polish

According to customer’s demand, polish treatment could be generally divided into mirror polished and the matte polished by using different degrees of abrasive belt with high-speed to rub against casting to make surface smoothness.

Vibration Grind

Castings are placed into the rotary motion or vibration barrel so that the casting and abrasive compound could rotate and rapidly rub in order to remove its uneven surface and reach the surface finish of the trim effect.

Black Oxide Coating

Heating casting and adding some chemical is to produce black oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ferric ferrous oxide) and attach to the surface of the casting changes the appearance of the color and enhance the anti-rust. It generally applied to carbon steel.

Engrave characters or lettering

Casting shall be recorded or specially marked of furnace number. Additionally, the characters or letting could be made by mold or use engraving machine to punch as well.

Electro deposited coating

Make use of power to allow coating adhere to the surface of casting and it is kind of similar paint surface treatment. The advantage is good antirust and even surface with adhesion.

Electro-polished

The electro-polished means casting is placed in the anode electrolyte (acid) so that it is energized in anti-electrolysis. (also known as the anti-plated) The primary objective is to minimize micro-roughness(Ra, Rmax), thus dramatically reducing the risk of dirt or product residues adhering and improving the clean of surfaces and enhance corrosion resistance. Electro-polished is also used for deburring, brightening and passivating.

Electroplating

The reaction of a metal by electrolysis is to form a layer of metal in accordance with the general appearance and rust resistance according to customer’s requirements. Zinc plating or chrome plating can be chosen.
