Surface Finishing & Coating

Electropolishing, passivation, plating, anodizing and coating for hygiene, wear and appearance. 31 products in the catalog are made with this process.

How it is made

After fabrication parts are cleaned and finished: stainless is passivated or electropolished for a smooth, hygienic surface; nickel parts are hard-chromium plated for wear; aluminum is anodized; steel is galvanized, e-coated or powder coated; electrode media receive platinum or MMO coatings.

What the process can do

Electropolish Ra ≤ 0.4 µm; hard chrome 5–20 µm; anodize 10–25 µm in colours; powder coat 60–120 µm; Pt / Ir flash coatings for electrolyzers.

Best for

Food and medical parts, visible grilles, wear-loaded screens, outdoor and automotive parts, electrolyzer media.

Limits

Coatings narrow fine apertures — specify the opening after finishing.

Design & ordering tips

State finish, colour, thickness and whether the aperture tolerance applies before or after coating.
