Sheet Metal Finishing Process
Sheet metal finishing is the final step in the fabrication process that enhances the surface characteristics of a part—whether for corrosion protection, improved conductivity, or aesthetic appeal.
At PMF, the process begins with surface preparation, followed by the application of your desired finish, such as powder coating, plating, anodizing, or polishing. Every step is carefully monitored to ensure dimensional stability and surface consistency. Our in-house quality control team performs rigorous inspections to ensure that each component meets client specifications and industry standards.
Technology Used for Finishing Sheet Metal
At PMF, our investment in cutting-edge technology ensures we deliver consistent, high-quality finishes that meet the strictest industry standards. Our facility is equipped with:
- Timesavers 9” Deburring Sander: Removes burrs and sharp edges to create smooth, uniform surfaces ready for coating.
- Timesavers 36” Deburring Sander: Removes burrs and sharp edges to create smooth, uniform surfaces ready for coating (for larger projects).
- Empire Sandblaster (36” x 48”): Cleans and textures metal parts for improved coating adhesion, ideal for complex geometries.
- Spray Guns: Electrostatic powder coating systems that apply even, high-performance finishes with minimal waste.
- 5-Tank Cleaning Process: Thorough pre-treatment system that removes oils and contaminants before coating.
