Typical Surface finishing processing

Characteristics and kind of plating are very much diversified. The most prevailing surface finishing is plating processing which varies from electroplating, to electroless plating.  Plating has methods to use electricity and no-usage.  Plating has also divided into several kinds according to the characteristics to be added. The kind of plating of accessary and function are including chrome plating to improve abrasion resistance, hardness and nickel plating to improve corrosion resistance, appearance, and others, namely, copper plating, silver plating, gold plating and tin plating. Those plating form a part of technology of processing facility and machine parts.

Comprehension of whole plating image assist to lead to the improvement of function of production facility and machine parts. In order to assist comprehension of total surface finishing technology, the table below which classified into “Wet method” and “Dry method” and into group of electric usage or non-usage, and into the processing method together with their facilities (treatment method) would be help to you.

Classification of surface finishing by wet method

Classification of surface finishing by dry method

For the purpose to give quality surface finishing process, expertized facilities and equipment by each process stage are required. By the dimension and sizes of produced work (parts) by means of machining and sheeting, there exist the problem of possibility to give surface finishing or not. Designers can achieve the high quality designing of well-balanced of quality and cost, taking account of the application of the machine parts and its production site, and of the selection of most suitable surface finishing, including the selection of the most reliable associated company.
