Surface Finishing Options for CNC Turning and CNC Milling
→As machined
→Ra 3.2μm / Ra 126μin
→This is our standard finish. Parts are machined and deburred, sharp edges are chamfered.
→Smooth machining
→Ra 1.6μm / Ra 63μin
→Smooth machining is like an ‘As machined’ finish but with slightly less evident machine marks. Parts are machined at a lower feed, no hand polishing is applied.
→Powder Coated
→Ra N/A
→Powder coating is a strong, wear-resistant finish that is compatible with all metal materials.
→Mirror Polish
→Ra 0.1μm / Ra 3.94μin
→Powder coating is a strong, wear-resistant finish that is compatible with all metal materials.
→Bead Blasted
→Ra N/A
→Parts are bead blasted with glass beads which results in a grainy texture.
→Brushed + Anodized type II
→(Glossy)
→Parts are brushed and then anodized type II. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Typically results in a glossy color.
No Bead Blasted implemented.
→Black oxide
→Ra N/A
→Black oxide is a conversion coating used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
→Electroless nickel plating
→Ra N/A
→Electroless nickel plating can have a matte, semi-bright, or bright finish, For metal and plastic.
→Brushed
→Ra 1.2μm / Ra 47μin
→Parts are brushed with a #400 – 600 grit. Ideal to reduce the surface roughness of the part.
→Bead blasted + Anodized type II
→(Matte)
→Parts are bead blasted and anodized type II.
Results in naturally matte colors. For glossy colors, please select the brushed anodizing option.
→Brushed + Electropolished
→Ra 0.8μm / Ra 32μin
→Parts are brushed and electropolished. Ideal to reduce the micro-roughness of the part.
→Sharp Edges
→Ra N/A
→Sharp Edges with visible toolmarks
→Polishing
→Ra 0.8μm / Ra 32μin
→Parts are manually polished in multiple directions. Surface is smooth and slightly reflective.
→As machined + Anodized type III
→(Hardcoat)
→Parts are machined and an anodizing type III coating is directly applied to the surface. Ideal to improve corrosion and wear resistance of components.
→Chromate conversion coating
→Ra N/A
→Parts are machined and a chromate conversion coating is applied. RoHS compliant.
→Broken Edge
→Ra N/A
→Edges broken with visible toolmarks
