What Is Surface Finishing

Surface finishing refers to the different processes used to alter the surface of a finished product to give it a unique or desired look and feel. Different technologies are used to improve the appearance, adhesion, solderability, corrosion resistance, hardness, electrical stability, and many other properties of industrial components.

Advantages of Surface Finishing

No matter what manufacturing process you use, high-quality surface finishing services can improve the aesthetics and function of your parts. NOBLE offers various premium metal, composite, and plastic surface finishing services to bring the prototype or part of your dreams to life.

NOBLE has more than ten years of experience in surface treatment and excellent engineers, who are proficient in surface treatment of plastics, metals, and composite materials, and can turn your dream prototype or parts into reality.[Get Quote]

Picture	Technology	Description
	As Machined	Coming out of the machine after machining, our parts are cleaned of any sharp edges and burrs while retaining marks. Without any added material, the part had a surface roughness of 3.2 μm (126 μin).
	Band Blasting	Band blasting cleans the surface of any impurities and peels coating through the propelling of blast media streams over the parts
	Anodizing	To increase surface hardness and dissipate heat, we use anodizing techniques to enhance the look of parts and blend well for painting and priming.
	Electroplating	Electroplating reduces metal cations in the electrolyte solution, producing a metallic coating on a metal surface. This process can be used for purposes of corrosion and wear resistance, as well as for decorative purposes.
	Polishing	Working on metal and hard plastics, our polishing uses highly efficient machinery to get our parts between Ra 0.8~Ra 0.1 for a cleaner surface.
	Powder coating	We apply a thin layer of protective polymer with the corona discharge phenomenon to give our part a lasting finish that protects from impacts and prevents wearing down.
	Brushing	Our brushing technique uses abrasive belts over the material to create diverse patterns that match the parts' structure and color.
	Painting	Spray droplets can be dispersed uniformly or in fine amounts to cover a wide surface area and bring out greater color to the part.
	Black Anodized	Adding layers to metallic surfaces like steel, our black anodized technique improves appearance while maintaining durability.
	Alodine	We use chromate conversion coating or alodine to protect aluminum and other materials from corrosive elements, usually done before priming and painting parts.
	Laser Carving	Helpful in brand recognition or parts organization, we use laser carving that applies various printing methods during full-scale production to quickly embed barcodes, lettering and logos on the parts.

Our Surface Finishing Specifications

Part surface finishing techniques can improve the aesthetics and function of your parts. Each surface treatment process has requirements, such as material, color, texture, and price. Below are the specifications of the surface treatment technologies offered by NOBLE.[Get Quote]

Pic	Name	Description	Materials	Color	Texture
	Anodizing	Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.	Aluminum	Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold.	Smooth, matte finish
	As-Machined	The standard finish for our parts, the “as machined” finish, has a surface roughness of 3.2 μm (126 μin), which removes sharp edges and deburr parts cleanly.	All materials	N/A	Stain
	Sand Blasting	Sand blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.	Aluminum, Brass, Copper	N/A	Matte
	Powder Coating	Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.	All metal materials	Custom	Gloss or semi-gloss
	Electroplating	Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.	Aluminum, steel, Stainless Steel	Gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass	Smooth, Glossy finish
	Polishing	Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.	All materials	Smooth, glossy finish	Glossy
	Brushing	Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.	ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	N/A	Satin
	Painting	Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic	Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel	Custom	Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured
	Black Anodized	Coating is similar to alodine that is used for steel and stainless steel. It is used mainly for appearance and for mild corrosion resistance.	Steel, Stainless Steel	Black	Smooth, matte
	Alodine	Chromate conversion coating, more commonly known by its brand name Alodine, is a chemical coating that passivates and protects aluminum from corrosion. It is also used as a base layer before priming and painting parts.	Aluminum	Clear, Gold	Same as before
	Laser Carving	laser carving is a cost-effective way to add logos or custom lettering to your designs and is often used for custom part tagging during full-scale production.	All materials	Custom	N/A
