Finishing Specifications
| Finish | Definition | Specification | Description of Finish |
| Zinc | Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. | QQ-Z-325 ASTM-B-633 |
Clear or Yellow Appearance on Surface |
| Electroless Nickel | Electroless nickel plating is a chemical reduction process which depends upon the catalytic reduction process of nickel ions in an aqueous solution and the subsequent deposition of nickel metal without the use of electrical energy. | AMS 2404 AMS 2405 ASTM B656 Mil-C-26074 ASTM B733 Rockwell 580-0766 Rockwell 580-5296 |
Semi Bright Silver Color of Stainless Steel |
| Electropolish | The electropolish process is the removal of substrate (base) material in such a fashion as to impart a highly reflective surface, diminishing scratches, burrs and unwanted sharp edges from most metals. | SEMI F19 ASME BPE EP 1019 |
Bright Mirror Finish AS9100, ISO 9001:2015 |
| Bright Nickel & Nickel Chrome |
Bright Nickel & Nickel Chrome has been widely used for a decorative finish in a variety of areas where there is a need for corrosion protection and wear. | QQ-W-290 A |
Bright Nickel AS9100, ISO 9001:2015 |
|
Anodize / Hard Coat Anodizing |
Anodizing is a conversion of the aluminum surface to practically pure aluminum oxide. |
MIL-A-8625F AMS 2471 AMS 2472 MIL-A-8625 TYPE III CLASS 1 AMS 2468 / AMS2469 ASTM B 850 TYPE A MIL-STD-171 FINISH NO. 7.5.1 MIL-F-14072, E 514 MIL-A-8625 TYPE III CLASS 2 MIL-STD-171 FINISH NO. 7.5.2 |
Increased Resistance to Corrosion and Oxidation AS910O ISO 9001:2015 |
| Passivate | Intended to improve the corrosion resistance of parts made from austenitic, ferrite and martensitic corrosion-resistant steels of the 200, 300 and 400 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels. | QQ-P-35 ASTM B 912-00 |
Improves Corrosion Resistance |
| Chemical Film | Chemical Film coatings are gelatinous films which provide some sort of a barrier medium to retard corrosion on aluminum surfaces and enhance adhesion of subsequent coatings such as paints and primers. |
ASTM B449 Type I and Type II |
From Clear to Yellowish Brown Increased Corrosion Resistance Good Paint Base, AS9100, ISO 9001:2015 & RoHS Compliant |
| Powder Coating | Powder coating provides a durable, corrosion protective hard finish. |
A rainbow of colors to meet every conceivable customer requirement. AS9100, ISO 9001:2015 |
