What if the surface finish option I need doesnot appear on the list?
Yes, we offer all the surface finishing options, even if they are unavailable on the list. However, if you did not find the surface finish option in the list, you could still send us the quote request. Our engineers will consult you to discuss how
We will proceed with that.
What types of parts can I finish service from Prolean?
We provide surface finish service for almost any CNC machined product, from simple mechanical tools to intricate aerospace parts. Our surface finishing service will free your parts from scratches, stains, and blemishes. In addition, by applying an appropriate finishing approach, we can also treat the hanging marks and other minor defects.
Which surface finishing choice is best for my project?
The end-user application and material type determine it.For example, zinc plating or anodizing may be the ideal option if your parts are used in outdoor environments. At the same time, for interior use, a basic painting would suffice. Furthermore, some surface finishing options are only applicable for specific types of material. For example, Anodizing is only applicable for aluminum and titanium.
Why As machined surface finish not suitable for all cases?
As machined surface finishing is not appropriate for all cases, the operating environment causes surface degradation. Also, it is highly risky for corrosion formation and not good for aesthetic purposes.
