Specialised Surface Treatments for Different Materials

A number of different surface treatments transform metal parts to change certain characteristics, luster, colour, hardness, or other desirable characteristics of the exterior surface. Defining Surface Treatments A wide array of surface treatments transform metal parts in a variety of ways to achieve the intended result. There are many possible types of treatments depending on the type of metal, the part being changed, and the final outcome desired. Some common treatments include painting, stamping, electroplating, hot-dip galvanizing, laser coating, etc. These processes can be applied to a wide range of metals including aluminum, copper, brass, chrome, copperplate, stainless steel, zinc, tin, lead, titanium, phosphorus, tungsten, etc. Poeton’s are a great company for this service.

Metal detailing is one of the most commonly used surface treatments for various metals. It’s used to add grain to a piece of metal to improve the luster or increase durability. Other metal parts that benefit from detailed finishing include airplane parts, such as wings, landing gears, landing gear covers, nose cones, etc. Surface Treatments are a vital part of manufacture.

Membrane surfaces are used to prevent moisture from penetrating or seeping into concrete or cementitious materials. When properly applied, they improve the chemical resistance of concrete or cementitious materials, which in turn reduces corrosion. Commonly used in interior and exterior water treatment plants, these membranes include foam membranes, polyurethane foams, epoxy, and others. For concrete or cement surfaces, special attention needs to be given to the finishing of concrete or cement surfaces using advanced formulated products, so that they are safe for use in all types of conditions. For this, professionals need to use only those products that contain anti-corrosion ingredients that can resist chemical reactions with other substances.
