Metal fabrication involves various processes, including cutting, bending, welding, and finishing, to transform raw metal into useful products. One crucial aspect of metal fabrication is the application of different types of metal finishes, which not only enhance the appearance of the final product but also improve its durability and protection against corrosion.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a popular metal finishing technique that involves applying a dry powder to a metal surface. The powder is electrostatically charged and then baked to create a smooth, even, and durable finish. This type of finish offers excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it ideal for various applications, such as automotive parts, appliances, and furniture.
Galvanizing
Galvanizing is a technique that involves coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. The metal is dipped into a bath of molten zinc or sprayed with a zinc-based coating. Galvanized finishes are widely used in construction, outdoor structures, and automotive applications due to their excellent rust resistance and longevity
Brushed Metal
Brushed metal finishes are achieved by brushing a metal surface with an abrasive material, typically in a linear motion. This creates a distinctive pattern of fine lines or grain on the metal, giving it a textured appearance. Brushed finishes are commonly seen in household appliances, kitchen fixtures, and decorative items.
Polishing
Polishing is a metal finishing process that involves buffing the surface to achieve a smooth and shiny appearance. Various techniques, such as mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, and electro polishing, can be employed. Polished finishes are commonly used in jewellery, cutlery, and high-end architectural projects.
Metal fabrication plays a crucial role in the industry, and the choice of metal finish can greatly impact the final product’s aesthetics, durability, and functionality. Powder coating, galvanizing, brushed metal, and polishing are just a few examples of the diverse range of finishes that we use.
