Anodizing, electroplating, PVD coating, polishing, sandblasting, bead blasting, tumbling, passivation, and deburring.
Hard anodizing (Type III): Best for aluminum – excellent wear and corrosion resistance
Electroplating (hard chrome, nickel): High hardness, good for sliding surfaces
PVD coating: Thin, hard, low-friction – ideal for cutting tools or moving parts
Anodizing (aluminum): Sealed or unsealed options
Passivation (stainless steel): Removes free iron, restores corrosion resistance
Electroplating (zinc, nickel, chrome): Adds a protective barrier
PVD coating: Also improves corrosion resistance
Anodizing: Aluminum only
Passivation: Stainless steel
Electroplating: Most metals (steel, stainless, copper, brass, aluminum)
PVD coating: Metals and some plastics
Polishing / sandblasting / tumbling: Most metals and plastics
