Anodizing (Type II)

Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Notes:
Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color

Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight

Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL colour

Bead blasting (3D render)

Bead blasting

Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.

Notes:

The recommended part size is 6-600 mm in both height and width. Smaller parts are hard to hold and tough to produce an even surface.
Final result:
- Uniform, matte or satin-like appearance
- Slightly grainy in the touch
Custom Finishing

If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.

Notes:

Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
Electroless nickel plating

Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces.
Final result:
- Protection from corrosion, oxidation and wear on irregular surfaces
- Brighter appearance
Electropolishing

An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter.
Final result:
- Reduced corrosion
- Brighter appearance
Gold plating

Gold plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.
Final result:
- Gold-like appearance
- Increased corrosion and tarnish resistance
Passivation

A colorless coating that improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels by removing free iron from the surface.
Powder coating

Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.

Notes:

Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL colour
Zinc coating / Galvanising

Zinc plating involves the electrodeposition of a thin coating of zinc metal onto the surface of another metal object, known as a substrate. The zinc coating creates a physical barrier that prevents rust from reaching the underlying metal surface.
Final result:
- Increased corrosion resistance
