Surface Treatment, Coating and Preparation
Surface treatment encompasses a range of processes designed to elevate material properties, such as adhesion, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and overall appearance. Techniques like coating, plating, cleaning, etching, and mechanical finishing are employed, playing a crucial role across diverse industries. These methods are instrumental in enhancing the functionality and durability of products. Vital for ensuring longevity and compatibility, surface treatment also contributes to refining the aesthetics of finished goods. Particularly in industries exposed to challenging conditions, effective surface treatment becomes indispensable for upholding performance and reliability, underscoring its pivotal role in optimising functionality and quality throughout manufacturing processes.
Kemet offer machines which incorporate surface treatment, coatings and preparation, tailored to cater to a wide array of industries. Kemet International presents an extensive range that includes Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection, Passivation, and Surface Treatments tailored for diverse materials.
Passivation is a chemical process applied to metals, particularly stainless steel, to enhance corrosion resistance by forming a protective oxide layer on the surface.
Liquid Penetrant Testing is a highly effective method for identifying surface-breaking flaws, cracks, and defects that might otherwise go unnoticed.
PVD and electroplating are techniques for producing thin films and coatings, utilised in the manufacturing of products with specific mechanical, optical, chemical, or electronic requirements.
Samples are evaluated free-of-charge & reports are issued covering all aspects of the process & the likely consumable costs involved.
