1. Definition and Suitable Applications Metal etching in precision manufacturing usually refers to Photochemical Etching (PCE), also known as chemical etching or photo chemical machining (PCM). The process uses a...
1. What is Brushing Metal surface brushing, also known as brushing or hairline finishing, is a mechanical surface treatment process. Abrasive belts, brushing wheels, nylon wheels, or non-woven wheels are...
1. What is Shot Peening? Shot peening is a cold-working surface strengthening process that uses high-speed spherical media to repeatedly impact the metal surface. It generates a controlled plastic deformation...
1. What Is Sandblasting? Sandblasting is a surface-finishing process in which abrasive media are propelled at high speed onto a workpiece by compressed air or mechanical force. Rather than simply...
1. What Is Passivation? Passivation is a chemical or electrochemical surface treatment process that creates a more stable and protective condition on a metal surface. It is not simply a...
1. What Is Electroless Plating? Electroless plating, also known as chemical plating or autocatalytic plating, is a metal finishing process that deposits a metallic coating without external electrical current. Unlike...
