What is a Metal Finishing?
Metal finishing is the process of adding a finish or coating to the surface of the part to make it better looking or more durable. A finish is a surface texture that gives a part particular visual and functional properties. Sometimes a shiny finish is desirable, in which case a part can be polished with a fine abrasive powder until its surface is smooth and reflective. However, a shiny finish is easily scratched and it makes any imperfections in the surface of the part glaringly obvious. To make a durable finish that hides imperfections, the part can be bead blasted, which is the process of spraying it with tiny glass beads, to evenly roughen its surface.
