Passivation of Stainless Steel

The complete array of metal finishing services available at Master Finish Company includes passivation of stainless steel. Through passivation, the full corrosion-resistant qualities of stainless steel are restored through the chemical treatment of the surface.

 

METAL POLISHING & BUFFING

Class-A metal surfaces often require polishing and buffing prior to decorative plating. Abrasive belt polishing is used to remove parting lines from castings and burrs from steel stampings. Show surfaces of the metal are then buffed to a smooth high luster by rouge compounds applied under the pressure of rotating fiber wheels.

 

Vibratory Finishing

The comprehensive metal finishing services available from Master Finish Company includes vibratory finishing. Vibratory finishing is a process in which smaller parts or components are placed in a tub or bin with burnishing media, which can include ceramics, plastics, granite, steel balls, or organic media such as ground walnut shells or corn cobs. An asymmetrically weighted motor then creates vibration to achieve the desired results as components and media scrub together.

 

Postplate Finishing

Dehydrogenation Bake Off

The postplate metal finishing services of Master Finish Company includes dehydrogenation bake off. Heat-treated steel components may require dehydrogenation bake off immediately after plating to remove hydrogen from the part and prevent embrittlement. Heat-treated parts are baked immediately after plating to remove hydrogen molecules from the metal, providing stability and durability.

 

Paint Finishing of Plated Metal Components

Master Finish Company’s metal finishing services also include paint finishing after the plating process. A wide variety of paint finish topcoats are available to match a broad range of coating chemistries and curing temperature needs. This flexibility allows us to deliver durable, hard coatings on almost any decorative plated part.

 

PVD Coating Topcoat Finishing

The topcoat finishing services available at Master Finish Company include PVD Coating. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is the application of a hard, thin film to a plated surface to add both decorative and functional properties, depending upon the application.
