Surface finishing of metal components - Durable and Functional
You have a variety of options for finishing your component after production and protecting it from corrosion.
After production and thermal deburring, we refine the surfaces of your components in cooperation with our partners. In the process, the surface properties are changed depending on the material, function and area of application of the workpieces. With a refined surface, your metal parts are not only protected against wear and friction, but are also electrically conductive if required.
Whether anodizing, chromating, passivating, burnishing or painting – the choice is yours. We will be happy to advise you on which finishing processes are the right ones for your workpieces and their function.

Anodizing of your aluminum components
For light metals such as aluminum, the anodizing process is a good choice. In this way, your aluminum components can be permanently protected against corrosion. The color varies from light to dark silver-gray. By adding color pigments, it is also possible to produce other colors, e.g. black, anthracite, red, blue or gold.
What is anodizing?
The anodizing process (abbreviation for electrolytic oxidation of aluminum) is a widely used form of anodizing. In this coating process, an aluminum component is immersed in an electrolyte bath. The electrolysis results in the formation of an oxide layer approximately 5 to 30 micrometers thin (depending on the alloy used), which protects the surface.
Corrosion protection of steel components
Various methods can be used to permanently protect your steel components against corrosion. Often, the parts are coated with zinc electrolytically. Additional Passivation or Chromating can further increase the protection. This produces a decoratively attractive surface with either a light bluish or yellow iridescent appearance.
Other alternatives for surface finishing of steel components are, for example:
- Burnishing (a deep black iron oxide layer with short-term corrosion protection, which results from immersing the workpieces in acidic or alkaline solutions).
- Conventional priming
- Varnish
Laser engraving
your components
You would also like to have your components labeled? We number and mark your finished workpieces quickly and permanently using laser engraving. In this way, we take over another process step for you in addition to production,
surface finishing and assembly. You create your own capacities and save costs and procurement time at the same time.
