Anodizing
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances the durability and corrosion resistance of metals like aluminum. It involves creating a layer of oxide on the surface of the metal, which can be dyed to create a range of colors.

Powder Coating
Powder coating is a popular method for coating metal surfaces. It involves applying a dry powder to the metal surface, which is then heated to create a smooth, durable finish. Powder coating is known for its resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it a great choice for metal objects that will be exposed to harsh conditions. Additionally, powder coating is environmentally friendly, as it does not contain solvents or other harmful chemicals.
Heat Treating
Heat treating is a process can be used to increase the strength, hardness, and durability of the metal, making it more suitable for a variety of applications. There are several different methods of heat treating, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks.
Plating
Metal plating is a process of coating a metal with a thin layer of another metal or alloy for various reasons, such as improving appearance, durability, or corrosion resistance.
Black Oxide
Black oxide, also known as blackening, is a conversion coating applied to ferrous materials, stainless steel, copper and its alloys, zinc, powdered metals, and silver solder. This coating enhances mild corrosion resistance, improves appearance, and reduces light reflection.
Wet Paint
Wet paint involves an electrostatic application process that is utilized on various substrates, primarily serving as a final finish. This is attributed to the extensive variety of colors that can be applied.
Galvanizing
Galvanization, also known as galvanizing, is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron to prevent rust. The most widely used method is hot-d galvanizing, where the parts are coated by immersing them in a bath of hot, molten zinc.
