More on metal surface finishing of machined components:
With extensive in-house machining capabilities and a strong base of subcontract suppliers, we provide a range of metal finishing services, including zinc electroplating, anodising (both decorative, coloured and hard, phosphoric bond, hexavalent chromium-free (SurTech), painting and CARC.
These services are provided to military standards and NADCAP, if required, and we also offer in house engraving, Vibro finishing and bead blasting.
You need machined components that look and feel exactly as your design and specifications demand, so achieving the perfect finish is essential for providing a high-quality CNC machining service.
Metal finishing treatments we offer as leading precision engineers include:-Zinc electroplating-Anodising-Phosphoric bond-Hexavalent Chromium-Free (SurTech)-Painting-CARC-Vibro finishing-Bead blasting
KMF delivers CNC-machined parts with almost any metal finish in short lead-times from one supplier.
Further surface treatments are also possible on request from our list of approved and trusted finishing specialists.KMF remains your sole metal manufacturing partner throughout manufacture, taking control of each stage of the machining process to guarantee high-quality, every time.
