What Is Metal Finishing Process & How Does It Work – Finishing Services

Metal surface treatment is a process that artificially forms a surface layer with different mechanical, physical and chemical properties from the substrate to meet the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decoration or other special functional requirements of the product. For metal castings, commonly used surface treatment methods include mechanical grinding, chemical treatment, surface heat treatment, surface spraying, etc.

Surface heat treatment is a surface treatment method that uses rapid heating to austenitize the surface layer and then quench it to strengthen the surface of the part.

Chemical heat treatment is a heat treatment process that places the workpiece in a specific medium for heating and insulation, so that active atoms in the medium penetrate into the surface of the workpiece, thereby changing the chemical composition and structure of the surface of the workpiece, thereby changing its performance. Commonly used chemical heat treatments include carburizing, nitriding, multi-component co-infiltration, infiltration of other elements, etc.

Benefits of Metal Finishing Process

1. Improve the corrosion resistance of metal surfaces and extend the service life of metal products.

2. Make the metal surface have better wear resistance and improve the wear resistance of metal products.

3. Improve the appearance and gloss of the metal surface, and improve the decorativeness and aesthetics of the product.

4. Enhance the adhesion of the metal surface and improve the durability of the coating.

5. Surface treatment can change the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of metal surfaces, making them suitable for different engineering applications.

6. Improve the surface hardness and strength of metal, and increase the use scope and reliability of metal products.

7. Functional improvements to the metal surface can be achieved through metal surface treatment, such as increasing thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and other properties.

8. The metal surface treatment process can achieve cleaning, rust removal and anti-corrosion treatment on the metal surface, improving the quality and reliability of metal products.
