Chemical Processing
Surface finishing and conversion processes that rely on controlled chemical reactions in baths or solutions. Coating performance depends on precise control of bath chemistry, components cleanliness and key process parameters such as time, current, temperature etc.. Robust process control and periodic performance testing are essential to ensure consistent quality.

Anodizing: Sulphuric Acid, Chromic Acid, Boric Sulphuric Acid & Hard Coat Anodizing, Oxalic-Sulphuric Acid & Phosphoric Acid Anodizing.
Conversion Coating: Chemical Conversion Coating, Zinc & Manganese Phosphating, Passivation, Electro Polishing & Black Oxide Coating (Blackening).
Chemical Etching: Titanium Etch, Aluminum Etch, Etching of CRES & Nickel base alloys, Pre–Penetrant Etching, Nitrate Etching.
Paint, Brush Platings: Spray Painting, Dry/Solid Film Lubricant Coating, HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) Thermal Spray Coating, Vacuum Impregnation Coating, Brush Cadmium Plating, Brush Zinc Nickel Alloy Plating
Surface Preparation: Pre-cleaning of mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and copper base alloys to prepare for surface finishing processes. Mechanical Cleaning for Surface improvement by Dry & Wet grit blasting, shot blasting, Shot Peening, barreling, and tumbling.
Heat Treatment
Thermal processes used to modify microstructure and mechanical properties of metals. Furnace control and pyrometry directly determine hardness, strength and toughness.
