CATEGORIESSHEET METAL FINISHING · ENGINEERING SELECTION GUIDE
Appearance, operating environment and assembly interfaces all influence the right finish. Hongming Sheng coordinates sheet metal fabrication and surface finishing for custom panels, enclosures, brackets and industrial components.
Start with the required texture, then define any protective treatment, coating or functional surface requirements.
Select an image to view the full-size reference. Appearance varies with the material and process settings.
A matte texture for housings, covers and other visible components. The final appearance depends on the substrate and blasting conditions.
Specify: Material, areas to treat, texture reference and any subsequent coating.
A directional grain for front panels, covers and decorative surfaces. Grain direction should be coordinated across adjoining visible parts.
Specify: Grain direction, visible faces and an approved sample or texture reference.
Media-based processing for deburring, smoothing and edge rounding on suitable parts. Material removal and edge changes should be considered.
Specify: Acceptable edge condition, critical dimensions and part features to preserve.
Retains the sheet material's existing appearance after cutting. Suitable where the drawing permits a raw surface or further processing is planned.
Specify: Allowable surface marks, deburring requirements and the next manufacturing step.
Define texture and protection separately. A visual texture alone does not define the required corrosion performance. State the protective treatment and acceptance requirements on the drawing.
The treatment should match the base material, intended use and specified finish system.
| Treatment | Details to Include in Your Inquiry |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Anodizing | Aluminum alloy, anodizing type, color, thickness and masked areas. |
| Powder Coating | Base material, color reference, gloss, texture, coating system and masking. |
| Stainless Steel Passivation | Stainless steel grade, process specification and acceptance requirements. |
| Chemical Conversion Coating | Substrate, coating specification and electrical contact requirements where applicable. |
| Electroplating | Base material, plating metal, thickness, functional surfaces and masked areas. |
| Industrial Painting | Primer and topcoat system, color, thickness and exposure conditions. |
Identify visible faces, grain direction, color and gloss. Share a sample reference where appearance is critical.
Mark threads, mating surfaces, grounding points and any areas that must remain free of coating.
State coating thickness, dimensional requirements, inspection criteria and any agreed testing.
Hongming Sheng support: Fabrication and finishing coordination, drawing review, prototype approval and inspection according to agreed requirements.
