Enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal with our certified surface treatment processes. From aerospace-grade anodizing to high-build powder coatings, we deliver consistent, traceable results.
Surface finishing is more than just aesthetics. It's a critical engineering function that determines how a part will perform in its operating environment. At MetalCore, we integrate finishing into the manufacturing workflow to eliminate handling damage, ensure dimensional accuracy, and guarantee adhesion.
Our 45,000 sq ft coating facility features automated conveyor systems, in-line thickness monitoring, and a dedicated color-matching lab. Every batch is documented with full material traceability and test reports.
Select from our catalog of certified surface treatments, optimized for material compatibility and operational demands.
High-thickness oxide layer providing exceptional wear resistance and electrical insulation. Ideal for aerospace and military applications.
Durable, uniform finish available in standard and custom colors. Excellent chip resistance and UV stability for outdoor exposure.
Uniform coverage on intricate parts with superior corrosion protection. Self-leveling process ideal for automotive and electronics housings.
Chemical treatment to remove free iron and restore corrosion resistance. Critical for medical, food, and semiconductor equipment.
Enhances conductivity, solderability, and appearance. Available in bright, matte, and colored finishes with precise thickness control.
Surface preparation and finishing to achieve controlled roughness (Ra), mirror finishes, or uniform matte textures prior to coating.
A controlled, documented process from incoming inspection to final packaging.
Cleaning, degreasing, etching, and masking to ensure optimal adhesion and defect-free surfaces.
Automated or manual coating, plating, or anodizing with real-time bath chemistry and temperature monitoring.
Oven curing, color matching, adhesion testing (cross-hatch), thickness verification (XRF/micrometer).
Anti-scratch wrapping, humidity control, and full test report generation before dispatch.
Every process is validated against industry standards. Custom specifications are welcome.
