Surface treatment of metals
Protect and enhance your products with customised metal finishing. Working with experts in the field, we can offer a wide range of coating methods to suit your specific needs.
What is surface treatment?
Surface treatment of metals such as steel and aluminium is a process that aims to improve the properties of the metal and protect it against various types of stresses. From cars and buildings to industrial machinery and consumer goods, everything is treated with coatings to resist corrosion, wear and tear and other stresses.
Why metal surface treatment is carried out
There are several different coating methods that are adapted to specific purposes and industries. Here we will go through some of the most common reasons why many people choose to surface treat metal.
1. corrosion protection
Surface treatment creates a protective layer that prevents corrosion and rusting of the metal surface. Corrosion protection significantly extends the life of the product, especially in harsh environments. Different metal coating methods provide different degrees of corrosion protection.
2. increased product lifetime
Protecting the metal against corrosion and wear significantly extends the lifetime of your products. This protection leads to increased value over time and reduces the need for repairs or component replacements, saving you both money and resources in the long run.
3. appearance according to specific design requirements
By applying different types of coatings, you can create glossy, matt or coloured surfaces that not only protect the metal but also make it more visually appealing. This is particularly important for visible components and products where visual impact plays a key role.
4. customisable
Metal surface treatment can also be customised to meet specific requirements depending on the application and environment. A properly executed surface treatment ensures that the metal is both aesthetically pleasing and resistant to damage. It is important to choose the right type of treatment to optimise both functionality and appearance.
