    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 color
  • CNC machined part without surface finishes (3D render, aluminium)
    Bead blasting (3D render)
    dragger

    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 finish icon

    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 (3D render)

    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 (3D render)

    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 (3D render)

    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 (3D render)

    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 Black (3D Render)

    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 color
  • Zinc plating (3D render)

    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
