High-quality surface finishinges improve your part’s aesthetics and functions regardless of the manufacturing process used. Janee will work with you from design to production, right through to the finishing of your parts to achieve the required surface finish and functionality.
Bead/Sand blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny sands or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs, machining marks and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.
Electorplating involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface by electrochemical technique to improve the appearance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and conductivity of the substrate material.
Electrophoresis surface treatment refers to the modification or coating of a surface using electrophoretic deposition. This process can be used to deposit coatings or modify the surface properties of various materials.
As machined is the standard finish for our parts, for turning parts, the surface roughness is 1.6 μm , and for milling parts, it’s 3.2 μm.
Removing sharp edges and deburrs is by default. Let us know if you get specific requirements.
Brushing is a finishing by brushing parts with abrasive materials in a linear or circular pattern. It creates a distinctive matte texture and enhance the visual appeal and tactile experience of parts.
Media tumbling involves vibrating to remove sharp edges and burrs on machined parts.
Notes:
Sharp edges may be dulled. Parts with fragile features are not recommended for tumbling.
Laser engraving involves a focused laser beam to etch or mark on material's surface, creating a permanent design, which used in various application such as product branding, personalization, signage, industrial part marking, and artistic expression.
Zinc coating is a process of applying a protective layer of zinc onto the surface of a metal substrate to prevent corrosion. The zinc coating creates a physical barrier that prevents rust from reaching the underlying metal surface.
There are 3 colors available: blue zinc, white zinc, black zinc.
Nickel plating is a process of depositing a layer of nickel onto a metal substrate by using electrolysis. It provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal to metal parts. It is commonly used ranging from decorative trim and fittings to functional components requiring protection against corrosion and wear.
Chrome plating involves depositing a thin layer of chromium onto a metal substrate through electroplating. Chrome coating offers high corrosion resistance, excellent hardness and wear resistance, and a bright, reflective finish. It is often used for decorative purposes to provide a shiny, metallic appearance to metal part.
Powder coating involves the application of finely ground particles of pigment and resin onto a metal surface, which are then heated to fuse into a smooth and uniform coating.
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition, it’s a versatile and effective surface treatment technique used to improve the performance, functionality, and appearance of a wide range of products and components.
TiN coatings are composed of titanium nitride (TiN), a compound of titanium (Ti) and nitrogen (N), and they are widely used for their excellent hardness, wear resistance, and aesthetic properties.
Phosphating, also known as phosphate conversion coating, is a chemical process used to treat metal surfaces, typically steel, to improve corrosion resistance, enhance paint adhesion, and provide a protective base for subsequent coatings.
Passivation is a chemical process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and other metals by forming a passive oxide layer on the surface. This passive oxide layer acts as a barrier, protecting the metal from further corrosion and oxidation.

Spray painting is a technique used to apply a coat of paint or protective coating onto a surface using a pressurized spray gun or aerosol can. It’s a popular and effective method for applying paint and coatings to surfaces, offering versatility, efficiency, and professional results.
Case hardening, also known as surface hardening or carburizing, is a heat treatment process used to increase the hardness and wear resistance of the surface layer of a metal component while retaining a ductile core.
QPQ, which stands for Quench-Polish-Quench, is a specialized surface treatment process used to enhance the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and fatigue strength of metal components. It's also known by Salt Bath Nitriding, Tufftride or Tenifer.
Tempering is a heat treatment process used to improve the mechanical properties of metal components, particularly steel and other ferrous alloys, by reducing internal stresses and increasing toughness and ductility.
Quenching is a heat treatment process used to rapidly cool a metal component from a high temperature to room temperature to achieve specific material properties, such as increased hardness or improved strength.
