Surface Treatment

Surface Treatment is a process method that artificially implements processing on the surface of the base material. This process creates a surface layer that differs from the substrate’s mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Surface Treatment aims to achieve more desired functions, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decoration, etc.

People usually only define sandblasting and polishing as Surface Treating, but this is only a narrow definition. In a broad sense, pre-treatment, electroplating, coating, chemical oxidation, thermal spraying, and many other physical and chemical methods are all in the category of Surface Treatment.

For example, the surface is usually prone to dirt during metal processing, transportation, storage, etc., such as scale, welding slag, oil, etc. If you want the coating to adhere firmly to the metal surface, you must clean the metal surface before painting. Otherwise, it will affect the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coating and the metal surface, thereby causing corrosion of the metal or peeling off of the coating. This phenomenon will undoubtedly affect the mechanical properties of the metal and shorten the service life of the metal. Therefore, treating metal treatment before painting is an important guarantee and measure to obtain a high-quality protective layer and prolong the service life of the metal.
