FINISHES

Zinc plating prevents oxidation and corrosion of the base material.

Tin plating is used for the food industries as well as in electronics for its solder ability.

Chrome plating is mainly used as a decorative finish but is also used to reduce friction.

Gold and Silver plating are ideal for ornamental purposes. Also, used in electronics due to the resistance to corrosion.

Anodizing produces a uniform much harder than natural oxidation. Anodize will not flake off like paint: aluminum may be dyed to receive a colored finish at the end of the anodize process.

Cadmium plating is a unique combination of corrosion resistance, solder ability, and antistatic characteristics. Aerospace and military applications. It may be clear, yellow, block or olive drab.

Passivate is generally used as a cleaning and conditioning process for stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

Powder Coating looks like paint but is much more durable and scratch resistant.

Black Oxide has excellent indoor corrosion protection if the finish is in oil or wax.

Heat Treat / Age is a baking process that increases the temper of the material.

Anneal is a baking process that decreases the temper of the material
