Industrial metal finishing is an essential final process of a manufactured metal product. Metal is very vulnerable to corrosion. Generally, the metal finishing process improves appearance and durability. In some cases, multiple finishing processes could be needed, depending on the requirements of the product. There are several metal finishing options, such as:

Types of Industrial Metal Finishing

• Blasting

• Brushing

• Deburring

• Grinding

• Heat Treating

• Plating

• Powder Coating

With metal finishing, a manufacturer can choose from any prior processes to increase the protection of the part and remove sharp areas, smooth corners, and dress welds. Regarding appearance, metal finishing can minimize imperfections, creating a smooth, glossy surface. The industrial metal finishing process you select will depend on the part’s material and the results it needs to provide. For example, stainless steel is easier to grind welds and remove other imperfections than aluminum, which polishes to a high shine but is too ductile to grind. The advantages provided by the different types of industrial metal finishings include:

Benefits of Industrial Metal Finishing
