Understanding Metal Finishing: Methods, Benefits & Uses
Metal finishing is very essential in adding strength, utility, and look to metal goods. Various techniques for surface finishing include ED coating, plating, and painting surface treatment assist in performance improvement and life addition. The study explores different ways of metal finishing, their merits, and diversified applications. Types of Metal Finishing 1. ED Coating: Electrodeposition Coating ED coating is a method of applying a protective paint layer using an electrical current. The technique provides uniform coverage, excellent adhesion, and corrosion resistance, making it widely used in the automotive, industrial, and marine sectors. 2. Plating Plating is the process of depositing a metal layer on a substrate to enhance its properties. Common types include: Electroplating : The process that uses electricity to deposit a uniform thin metal coating, like chrome, gold, or silver for aesthetic and protective purposes. Electroless Plating: A chemical process without e...
