Finishing

Utilizing Mid-Plains finishing techniques of stainless-steel polishing, bead blasting, plating and powder coating, ensures a professionally finished product to meet your specifications.

Finishing is the final step in the manufacturing process, where the surface of a part is altered to improve its appearance, durability, or function.  Utilizing Mid-Plains diverse finishing techniques, we ensure a professionally finished product to meet your specifications.

The best finishing process for a part depends on the part’s material, the desired characteristics, and the part’s specifications.

Here are some of MPI finishing processes:

  • Cleaning: Removing dirt, debris, or other unwanted materials 
  • Etching: Using chemicals to create a design or message on the surface 
  • Coating: Applying a layer of material to the surface, such as paint, powder coating, or electrocoating 
  • Engraving: Using a laser or CNC to create a design or message on the surface 
  • Polishing: Smoothing the surface of a part 
  • Sand blasting: Using sand or other abrasive materials to remove material from the surface 
  • Electroplating: Passing an electric current through dissolved metal ions to adhere to the surface 
  • Hot blackening: Applying a thin layer of black oxide to the surface to increase abrasion resistance

 

Why is finishing important?

  • Appearance: Finishing can enhance the visual appeal of a part. 
  • Durability: Finishing can make a part more durable and resistant to corrosion, wear, and tarnishing. 
  • Function: Finishing can improve a part’s function by making it easier to bond with other parts or by removing elements that might cause issues.
