Metal Finishing
Metal finishers use a variety of materials and processes to clean, etch, and plate metallic and non-metallic surfaces to create a workpiece that has the desired surface characteristics. Typical supporting processes can include degreasing, cleaning, pickling, etching, and/or polishing. At Cedar Lake Engineering we utilize metal finishing for painting, plating, coating, labeling and cleaning. Overall, metal finishing alters the surface of metal products to enhance:
- Corrosion resistance
- Wear resistance
- Electrical conductivity
- Electrical resistance
- Reflectivity and appearance (e.g., brightness or color)
- Torque tolerance
- Solderability
- Tarnish resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Ability to bond to rubber (e.g., vulcanizing)
- Hardness
