As machined
As machined finish is a raw finish that displays machining marks from the machining process. As standard we machine to 3.2Ra, however you can specify the surface roughness down to 0.2Ra.
Aluminium 6082
Visible tooling marks and light surface scratches.
Bead blasting and Type II sulphuric anodising
The examples below have been bead blasted, acid cleaned for pre-treatment and hot water sealed. They offer a consistent cosmetic finish and is the most popular finishing method for most aluminium parts. We offer 30 - 220 grit bead blasting, aqua blasting and all colours of anodising including colour matching.
30 grit bead blast and clear anodising
Removes all machining marks and leaves heavy texture
80 grit bead blast and clear anodising

More colours available including colour matching
Chromate conversion coating and Type II sulphuric anodising
Typically used as a pre-treatment process, chromate conversion coating is a great option to prime surfaces before anodising. The below parts have had chromate conversion coating and then been type 2 sulphuric anodised, with additional colour dyes.
Black anodised
Slightly grainy appearance from the conversion coating with added dye
Gold anodised
Slightly grainy appearance from the conversion coating with added dye
Bronze anodised
Slightly grainy appearance from the conversion coating with added dye
Purple anodised
Visible tooling marks and light surface scratches.
Orange anodised
Slightly grainy appearance from the conversion coating with added dye
More colours available including colour matching
Type III hard anodising
Black, Grey or colour matched Hard Anodising with the ability to specify exact coating thickness up to 100µm including PTFE coated Hard anodising.
Black hard Anodised
Visible tooling marks or parts can be seen or you can bead blast to create a matte appearance. Slightly grainy appearance from the hard anodising
Clear natural hard anodised
Visible tooling marks or parts can be seen or you can bead blast to create a matte appearance. Slightly grainy appearance from the hard anodising
More colours available including colour matching
Chemical finishes
We also offer Surtec 650, 650V, Electropolishing, Brightening, Iridite NCP, Passivating and Chemical Blackening (Black Oxide coating).
Electropolishing
Creates shine and smooths the outside surface of a part by levelling any peaks or burrs. Also increases corrosion resistance
Iridite NCP
Excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion promotion and non-toxic
Passivating
Increases the corrosion resistance by removing surface contamination and adding a micro coating to the surface of the material
Chemical blackening (Black Oxide Coating)
A durable coating that has a high level of wear resistance, corrosion resistance and can withstand harsh environmental conditions
Chemical brightening
A reflective and shiny surface that is often used to prepare parts before anodising
Mechanical finishes
Mechanical finishes are typically for improving aesthetics or preparing a base material for an additional treatment.
Bead Blasting
A wide range of bead blasting finishes, some are shown in the bead blasting and anodising section above
Vibratory polished
A great way to de-burr and smooth the surface of parts leaving feint grainy lines
Brushed
Parts can be linished to have a ‘brushed’ directional appearance
Tumbling
A great way to de-burr and lightly polish the surface of parts
Specialist hand finishing available on request
Etching and Type II sulphuric anodising
Etching is a pre-treatment in an acid bath that agitates the surface of the part increasing its porosity and removes most machining marks, and then sulphuric anodised. It is used to create a slightly different appearance to the standard cleaning and anodising process.
Black
Etched finish has removed most machining marks and has had black dye added to the anodising layer
Clear
Clear anodised parts are not chemically polished for long, resulting in a dull effect
Silver
Silver anodised parts are chemically polished for a longer time that results in the base material being brighter prior to anodising
More colours available including colour matching
Powder coating
Powder coating provides a continuous and even coating that protects the base material from corrosion as well as improves the aesthetic appearance. All exact match Pantone and RAL colours are available with Powder Coating.
RAL 9005 Black (Matte 30%±5%))
A grainy matte appearance that does not reflect much light.
RAL 9005 Black (Satin (60%±5%))
A smooth surface with slightly reflective appearance.
RAL 9005 Black (Gloss (70%±5%))
A smooth surface with highly reflective appearance.
RAL 9005 Black (High Gloss (80%±5%))
A smooth surface with very highly reflective appearance.
RAL 7004 Grey (Gloss (70%±5%))
A smooth surface with highly reflective appearance.
RAL 9010 White
(Gloss (70%±5%))
A smooth surface with highly reflective appearance.
RAL 3001 Red (or similar) (Gloss (70%±5%))
A smooth surface with highly reflective appearance.
Visible tooling marks and light surface scratches.
Metal plating
Metal plating provides a uniform thickness coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation and wear. Parts will appear brighter than in photos and are reflective.
Electroless nickel plating
Excellent for corrosion resistance, very cost effective. Has slight reflective surface.
Chrome plating
Highly reflective and evenly applied surface finish, similar to mirror polish.
