Production Process

From Surface Preparation to Finished Aluminum Parts

A controlled finishing workflow helps ensure surface cleanliness, color consistency, coating adhesion, appearance quality, and safe packaging for custom aluminum parts.

01

Surface Preparation

Surface Preparation

Parts are cleaned, degreased and inspected before finishing. Sandblasting, chemical cleaning or other pre-treatment methods are used to improve adhesion and surface consistency.

Degreasing → Rinse → Surface inspection → Pre-treatment

02

Sample & Color Confirmation

Sample & Color Confirmation

Color samples, surface texture, gloss level and coating requirements are reviewed before batch finishing to better match project specifications.

Color sample → Texture review → Gloss check → Approval

03

Anodizing / Powder Coating

Anodizing / Powder Coating

Anodizing or powder coating is applied under controlled process conditions, including coating thickness, temperature, voltage or curing parameters.

Anodizing and powder coating parameters are controlled by finish type, thickness, color, and material requirements.

04

Coloring, Sealing & Curing

Coloring, Sealing & Curing

Anodized parts can be dyed and sealed for color stability and corrosion resistance. Powder-coated parts are cured to form a durable protective finish.

Dyeing and sealing conditions are selected based on anodizing type, color, wear, and corrosion requirements.

05

Quality Inspection

Quality Inspection

Coating thickness, adhesion, color consistency and surface appearance are checked against drawings, samples or approved finishing requirements.

Thickness gauge: ±1μm accuracy. Adhesion: cross-hatch test. Color: spectrophotometer match.

06

Protection & Packaging

Protection & Packaging

Finished parts are protected with PE film, foam inserts, interleaf paper or edge protectors to reduce surface damage during handling and export shipment.

PE film → Foam protection → Export packaging

FAQ

Common Questions

Clear answers to help you better understand our services and capabilities.

Which surface finish is best for outdoor aluminum parts?

Powder coating and Type III hard anodizing are both strong options for outdoor aluminum parts. Powder coating provides excellent color durability and UV resistance, while hard anodizing improves surface hardness and wear resistance. For coastal or marine environments, conversion coating with powder coating can provide stronger corrosion protection.

Yes. We can finish aluminum parts supplied by customers or other manufacturers. Please provide the material grade, current surface condition, drawings and finishing requirements so we can recommend the right pre-treatment and finishing process.

Type II anodizing creates a 5–25 μm oxide layer for decorative color, corrosion resistance and general aluminum protection. Type III hard anodizing creates a thicker 25–75 μm oxide layer for better wear resistance, surface hardness and durability in demanding applications.

Yes. We support RAL color matching, custom color samples and batch color verification. Please provide a RAL code, Pantone reference or physical sample so we can match the required appearance before production.

The right finish depends on corrosion resistance, wear resistance, color, surface texture, operating environment and cost requirements. Our team can recommend suitable options such as anodizing, powder coating, sandblasting, polishing, electrophoresis or conversion coating based on your application.

Batch QC includes visual inspection, coating thickness checks, adhesion testing and color verification based on the finish type and customer requirements. Inspection records or certificates of conformance can be provided for production projects.
