What are the common surface finishing processes for metal products?
The external surface of products is increasingly enriched with the development of new technologies and techniques for surface treatment of products, etc., showing different developments. Metal is a common material in modern life. Due to its good material properties it is widely used in product design. Metal material surface treatment process mainly includes surface pre-treatment and surface decoration treatment, metal surface treatment process mainly includes surface mechanical treatment, chemical treatment and electrochemical treatment, and here is not too much to elaborate. As one of the surface decoration technology surface texture process is the main point of our discussion, metal surface texture process through forging, engraving, grinding, corrosion and other processes in the metal surface to produce the texture effect. To the surface of the metal product packaging also gives the user a different visual effect, as well as psychological feelings. Below we summarize the more common ways to start from the surface treatment of product design.
1. Polishing
Polishing refers to the use of mechanical and chemical principles of a processing process. Its role to reduce the surface roughness of the workpiece, in order to obtain a bright, flat surface processing methods. The main purpose of polishing is to make the surface of this product presents a smooth state, making the messenger more smooth.
2. Sandblasting
Sandblasting is powered by compressed air. This is also a kind of rust removal operation, that is, the surface traces will be certain grinding, using the role of the grinding wheel, the purpose of this is to do so in order to the next link of the process can be effectively launched.
3. Metal Etching
Metal etching is a technique to remove the material using chemical reaction or physical impact, metal etching technology can be divided into two categories: wet etching and dry etching. Doing so will add a certain aesthetic effect.
4. Metal embossing
Metal embossing refers to the embossing process of metal plates through mechanical equipment, after this process can form a certain relief aesthetic.
5. Brushed metal
Metal brushing refers to the processing of regular patterns on the metal surface by mechanical friction. Metal brushing process can clearly show each detailed silk marks, so that the metal matte in a fine hair luster. So that the product has a rich sense of texture, fashion and technology. Doing so will not only be no trace of scratches, but also form a very beautiful sense of light.
6. Other
The role of decorative product surface. There is still a lot to consider when processing, of course, the most important is the practicality must be good, followed by the aesthetics. Of course, there is also the service life of the product is also an important area of consideration. Because no one wants to buy the product they choose to use a very short time will be damaged.
