feature:

Surface Finishing technology can also endow the product surface with special uses, making metal materials more widely used, such as insulation, reflection, heat insulation, hydrophilic/hydrophobic, biocompatibility, etc.

Protection:

It has the function of protecting and strengthening the surface of the product, improving the corrosion resistance of the metal in the atmosphere, seawater or other corrosive media, as well as the fatigue resistance, wear resistance and lubricity during the service period. Such as aluminum alloy anodizing, galvanized steel wire, chrome plating on hardware surface in life and engineering applications.

Decorative:

Because the product itself will be affected by rust and other changes with time and environment, and lose the luster of the metal itself; surface treatment can give the surface of the metal material a certain brightness, color and pattern, and beautify the metal surface.
