Surface finishes boost CNC-machined electronic components’ aesthetic appeal, performance, and longevity. Typical surface finishes for electronics production include:
- Bead Blasting: Bead blasting is a mechanical finish that removes surface defects in electrical components to achieve a uniform matte finish.
- Electroless Nickel Plating: It is commonly used for finishing electrical components due to its good conductivity properties and ability to enhance corrosion and wear resistance.
- Anodizing: This electrochemical finishing method adds a non-conductive and corrosion-resistant oxide layer on the surface of various electronic components. It is available in different colors and is suitable for wear-resistant applications.
- Powder Coating: This decorative surface finish creates a protective coating on the surface of electronic components in various colors and textures to make them resistant to corrosion.
- Passivation: Passivation is the ideal finishing that eliminates surface contaminants from machined electronic parts, improving their corrosion resistance and leaving a natural, clean finish.
- Polishing: It offers a reflective finish that improves the surface roughness of electrical components and reduces surface friction.
