Surface Treatments

Surface Treatments

Normally, if there is no special requirements on the surface, products after investment casting are just anti-oil rust painted for rust protection. However, there may also have special purposes like improve appearance, protect the surface from external influences, meet special brand requirement, change material properties, etc. In this case, some surface treatments will be applied to investment castings.

The most applied surface treatments are:
