ANODIZING

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a durable, corrosion-resistant finish.

2

ALODINE / CHEMFILM

Chem-Film coating, also known as Alodine or Iridite, is a chromate conversion process for aluminum

3

UHV / PRECISION CLEANING

Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) cleaning is a specialized multistage decontamination process critical for semiconductor,aerospace, and high-energy physics applications

4

UHV / PASSIVATION

Passivation is a nonelectrolytic process that typically uses nitric or citric acid to remove free iron from the surface of stainless steel.

5

UHV / PASSIVATION

Precision Electropolishing is often described as ‘reverse plating.’ It is an electrochemical process that removes a microscopic layer of material from the surface of a metal part, typically stainless steel.

6

ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING

Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP) is an auto-catalytic chemical process used to deposit a nickel-phosphorus alloy on a metallic substrate.

7

INDUSTRIAL
ELECTROPLATING

Industrial Electroplatin is a current-driven process that coats a metal part with a thin layer of another metal, such as Zinc, Nickel, Chrome, or Gold.

8

ABRASIVE BLASTING

Abrasive blasting is a highly efficient mechanical surface preparation technology used to clean, deburr, and finish industrial components.

9

POWDER COATING

Powder Coating is a highperformance dry finishing process used to apply a protective and decorative layer to metal parts. The process involves spraying finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which are electrostatically charged, onto the surface.
