–Smooth machining is like an ‘As machined’ finish but slightly less evident machine marks. Parts are machined at a lower feed, and no hand polishing is applied.

–To reduce machining marks, parts are brushed manually with #400 – 600 grit sandpaper. Ideal to slightly reduce the roughness of the finish.

–To reduce machining marks, parts are brushed manually with #400 – 600 grit sandpaper. Ideal to slightly reduce the roughness of the finish.

–Powder coating is a strong, wear-resistant finish compatible with all metal materials.

–Parts are bead blasted with glass beads, resulting in a grainy texture and reduced machining marks.

–Applicable on steels, black oxide is a conversion coating used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.

–Parts are machined to Ra1.6μm and electroless nickel plated. Ideal for wear abrasion and corrosion resistance, not for cosmetic purposes.

–Parts are machined, and an anodizing type III coating is directly applied to the surface—ideal for improving corrosion and wearing resistance of components.

–Parts are anodized (type II) directly after machining. The most cost-effective anodizing option, ideal for non-cosmetic, functional parts. They are used to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

–Parts are manually brushed with fine sandpaper to attenuate the machining marks and then anodized. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Typically results in a glossy aspect.

–Parts are bead blasted and anodized type II. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Results in naturally matte colors. For glossy colors, please select the bead-blasted + glossy anodizing option.

–This is a batch-based process that tumbles vibrating media to remove sharp edges and burrs on machined parts. Tumbling can remove machine marks on exterior surfaces. Parts over 8” may require a manual review.

mpregnated Hard Anodize–A hard coat anodize process that embeds PTFE to create a self-lubricating, dry contact surface with Type 3 hard coat’s protective properties. This finish can be used on aluminum alloys or titanium and increases the service life of the product. This finish conforms to the AMS-2482 Type 1 Hard Coat Anodizing with Teflon (Non-Dyed).

–Improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels. Thickness is negligible, about 0.0000001”. Conforms to ASTM A967, AMS-QQ-P-35, MIL-STD-171, ASTM A380, or AMS 2700.

–An electrochemical process cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance, by making the metal brighter. Removes about 0.0001”-0.0025” of the metal. Conforms to ASTM B912-02.

–Silver offers high solderability and electrical conductivity but is susceptible to tarnish. Conforms to AMS QQ-S-365D. Thickness is about 0.00002” – 0.0003.”

–Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance with excellent solderability. Default application specification is MIL-G-45204 and ASTM B488, CLASS 00, 0, OR 1. Thickness is about 0.00002″ – 0.00005.”

–Provides uniform zinc coating which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. Conforms to ASTM B633-15.
