Finishing Services, What is Metal Finishing Process - Different Types of Metal Finishes at Junying | CNCLATHING
What is Metal Finishing Process & How Does it Work – Finishing Services Metal finishing or metal finishes, is the process of utilizing different techniques to alter the surface of an object, for improving the appearance and properties like corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and hardness, modifying electrical conductivity, removing burrs or applying specific colors to the machined components. It usually through adding a layer of metal or non-metal coating on the exterior of a metallic workpiece, which can also clean the part at the same time. The metal surface finishing services commonly applied on various CNC machining parts made of aluminum, stainless steel, brass and more materials.
Benefits of Metal Finishing Process The functions of metal surface treatment can be summarized as follows: – Improve the appearance – Add specific beautiful colors – Change the luster – Enhance chemical resistance

known, but many other metals can undergo the process, such as stainless steel, copper, titanium, zinc, and magnesium.
3. Plating (Electroplating) The process of using an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin coherent metal coating on an electrode, to change the properties of the metal surface or build up thickness for undersized parts. Chrome plating, nickel plating and more are often applied at CNCLATHING.
