Surface Treatment

1. Anodized - Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective layer on the surface of metal. The process involves immersing the material in an electrolytic solution and applying an electric current to it. Anodized surfaces are strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion.

2. Hardanodized - Hard anodizing is a variation of the anodizing process that creates an even stronger and more durable surface layer. This process involves using a more concentrated electrolytic solution, which produces a thicker layer of oxide on the surface.

3. Beadsandblasting - Bead blasting is a surface treatment process that involves using small, spherical beads to remove surface contaminants and create a uniform finish. The beads are blasted at high speed onto the surface, which removes impurities and creates a uniform, satin-like finish.

4. BrushPolish - Brush polishing is a manual process that involves using brushes to create a smooth, polished finish on metal surfaces. The process involves using a series of brushes with progressively finer bristles to create a mirror-like finish.

5. Chromeplated - Chrome plating is a surface treatment process that involves applying a thin layer of chrome to a metal surface. The process is used to create a shiny, mirror-like finish that is both durable and resistant to corrosion.

6. Powdercoated - Powder coating is a finishing process that involves applying a dry powder to a metal surface and then baking it in an oven. The heat causes the powder to melt and form a durable, protective coating. Powder coating is available in a wide range of colors and finishes.

7. PVD coating - PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is a surface treatment process that involves depositing a thin layer of material onto a metal surface using a vacuum chamber. The resulting coating is extremely thin, but very durable and resistant to wear and corrosion.

8. SURTEC650 - SURTEC650 is a surface treatment process that is designed to both clean and passivate metal surfaces. The process involves applying a chemical solution to the surface, which removes impurities and creates a protective layer that is resistant to oxidation and corrosion.

4. Inspections

In-process inspections are in the form of first article inspections and operator inspections to ensure our quality and the on-time delivery of completed orders to our customers.

Finished CNC machining products are subjected to the final QC inspection. First, inspectors verify that all specified and in-process inspections have been completed. Then they perform the remaining inspections and tests necessary to complete the evidence of product conformity. Results of all inspections and tests are recorded and only products that pass the final inspection process are packaged and shipped.

5. Packing and Shipment

The parts must be clean, without burrs, all qualified products will be individually packed by PE bubble bag, and use carton for shipment.

Can be customized according to customer requirements packaging equipment.
