Types of Metal Finishing and Plating Services You Can Get at Tempco

Anodizing Finishes

Anodizing is an electrochemical process used to create a protective oxide coating on the surface of aluminum parts. It protects against corrosion and increases durability and hardness for a long-lasting finish. Anodizing can also be used to improve appearance for aesthetic purposes. Key aspects of anodizing finishes include:

• Specifically used for aluminum components
• Anodizing is more expensive but offers a longer-lasting finish than plating
• Limited color options compared to powder coating
• Used for both decorative and protective purposes

Powder Coating Metal Finishing

Powder coating metal finishes help prevent corrosion for a wide range of components. Powder coating is also often used as an aesthetic process, creating a decorative finishing option that can produce glossy, matte, or textured finishes. Powder coating is used for everything from outdoor telecommunication applications like emergency phones in parking ramps to extending the life of medical and surgical components.

• Materials ideal for powder coating include steel and hot-rolled steel
• Ideal for both protective and aesthetic applications
• Custom color powder options are available

Metal Plating Services

Metal plating services are a cost-effective option for creating a protective layer on industrial metal components. Particularly ideal for internal parts, metal plating provides an outer coating used to improve strength and exterior appearance.

• Cost-effective finishing option
• Versatile
• Dip finishing process
• Can be used to create a smooth and uniform visual appearance

Benefits of Metal Finishing Services
