Q Standard (As-cast)
A "As cast" is a die casting finish that refers to leaving the die-cast part in its natural state after the casting process is complete, without any additional surface treatments or coatings. In other words, the part is used as it comes out of the die-casting mold, with no further finishing operations applied to its surface. Zinc and Aluminum alloys parts can be left as -cast and retain reasonable corrosion resistance.

Q Shot Blasting
A Shot blasting is a surface treatment process used to clean, polish, or prepare the surface of a material, typically metals, by propelling small, abrasive particles at high velocity.

Q Vibration grinding / Media Tumbled
A Vibration grinding is a surface finishing process used to deburr, polish, and improve the surface quality of die casting parts.
Media Tumbling is a specific type of vibratory finishing that uses tumbling media, such as ceramic, stone, stainless steel balls, etc, to achieve the desired surface finish. The tumbling media act as both abrasive agents and assist in separating the workpieces to avoid excessive contact, preventing part-on-part damage.
The magnetic grinding machine uses magnetic field force to transmit to the stainless steel grinding needle to make the workpiece rotate at high frequency, thereby polishing and grinding the inner holes, dead corners, and gaps of the hardware workpiece to remove burrs, ultimately achieving the effect of rapid removal of burrs and dirt from precision workpieces.

Q Anodizing
A Aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances the surface of aluminum by forming a durable oxide layer. This oxide layer, called an anodic coating, not only increases the aluminum's resistance to corrosion but also provides a base for various decorative and functional finishes. The surface of an aluminum die casting part does not facilitate a cosmetic finish with anodizing.

Q Powder Coating
A Powder coating is a popular method of applying a protective and decorative finish to various materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. So, all die cast parts can be powder coated. It is an alternative to traditional liquid paint and offers several advantages, such as increased durability, environmental friendliness, and a wide range of color options.

Q Painting
A Electroplating is a common finish used to apply a thin layer of metal (e.g., nickel, chrome, zinc) onto the die-cast part's surface. Plating enhances the appearance, provides corrosion resistance, and may offer improved conductivity.

Q Chromate Conversion Coating
A Also known as chemical conversion coating or chromating, this process creates a thin, protective layer on the surface of the die-cast part. It improves corrosion resistance and can serve as a base for subsequent painting or bonding.
-
Q Polishing and Buffing
A Mechanical processes like polishing and buffing can be used to enhance the surface appearance and provide a smooth, reflective finish to the die-cast parts.
-
Q E-Coating
A Also known as electrophoretic coating or electrocoating, this process involves immersing the die-cast part in a bath of paint suspended in water and applying an electric charge to deposit the coating evenly. E-coating provides excellent corrosion protection and covers complex shapes evenly.
-
Q Passivation
A For certain metal alloys, passivation is used to remove surface contaminants and create a passive oxide layer, which improves corrosion resistance.
