Turned part treatment
Special treatments can be applied to parts to give them the desired finish. We have listed suppliers for specific treatments, including:
-
Surface treatment: passivation, burnishing, phosphate conversion coating, anodizing, galvanization, copper plating
-
Thermal treatment: annealing / quenching and tempering / nitriding
-
Painting : e-coating / liquid / epoxy
