Available surface finishes for CNC machining
Surface finishes are applied after machining and can change the appearance, surface roughness, hardness and chemical resistance of the produced parts.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
As Machined (standard) | ~125 RA µin (3.2 RA µm). Minor tool marks will be visible on the part. |
 |
Smoothed | Parts are machined at a lower feed rate in order to achieve a surface roughness of ~62.5 RA µin (1.6 RA µm). Surface roughness can be decreased up to ~32 RA µin (0.8RAµm) upon request. |
 |
Bead Blasted | Bead blasting adds a uniform matte or satin surface finish on a machined part, removing all tool marks. Mainly used for aesthetic purposes. |
 |
Anodized Clear or Color (type II) | Anodizing adds a thin, hard, non-conductive ceramic coating on the surface of aluminum parts, increasing their corrosion and wear resistance. Available in a variety of colors. |
 |
Anodized Hardcoat (type III) | Hardcoat anodizing produces a thicker ceramic coating providing excellent corrosion and wear resistance. for functional applications. |
 |
Powder Coated | Powder coating adds a thin layer of strong, wear and corrosion resistant protective polymer paint on the surface of a part. Available in a large range of colors. |
 |
Electropolished | Electropolishing is an electrochemical process used to polish, passivate and deburr metal parts. It is useful to reduce surface surface roughness. |
 |
Black oxide | Black oxide is a conversion coating used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection. |
 |
Brushing | Brushing is produced by polishing the metal with grit resulting in a unidirectional satin finish. |
