What Finishes are Available for Forming and Bending?
Finishing processes not only improve the appearance of parts but also enhance their durability, resistance to wear and corrosion, and overall functionality. Proper finishing can significantly extend the lifespan of components and improve their performance in various applications.
  • Powder Coating

    Description: A durable coating applied to metal surfaces, available in various colors, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

    Notes: Ideal for outdoor applications and harsh environments. The process involves electrostatically applying a powder and curing it in an oven.

    Final Result: A smooth, colorful finish that enhances both the aesthetic appeal and durability of the product.

    Powder Coating
  • Anodizing

    Description: An electrochemical process that transforms the metal surface into a decorative and durable anodic oxide finish.

    Notes: Particularly suitable for aluminum, anodizing increases surface hardness and improves corrosion resistance.

    Final Result: A visually appealing, hard surface that resists scratches and corrosion.

    Anodizing
  • Hot-Dip Galvanizing

    Description: A process that coats steel with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion.

    Notes: Commonly used for outdoor structures and components exposed to moisture.

    Final Result: A robust, rust-resistant surface that extends the lifespan of steel components.

    Hot-Dip Galvanizing
  • Phosphate Coating

    Description: A chemical treatment that provides a protective layer on metal surfaces, enhancing paint adhesion.

    Notes: Often used as a pre-treatment before painting to improve the durability of the final finish.

    Final Result: A surface ready for painting, ensuring better adhesion and longevity of the coating.
