Automotive Industry
Vehicles today are subjected to extreme environments, from increased city driving to taking them out in extreme weather conditions or less predictable terrain. These factors, together with increasing expectations, mean that individuals and companies are more demanding than ever before. This is especially the case when it comes to coatings, finishes and surfaces.
Surface Treatments in the Automotive industry are done for a variety of reasons such as:
Corrosion Protection
Wear Resistance
Modifying Electrical Conductivity
Improved Adhesion
Friction Modification
Aesthetics
- Corrosion Resistance
- Wear Resistance
- Improvement of Aesthetics
- High-Temperature Resistance
Surface finishing can be done on a variety of components:
Under-Hood Components
Power Steering Systems
Chassis Components
Braking Systems
Fasteners
Body Panels
Wheels/Rims
Bearings
Shock Absorbers
Typical chemical processes for automotive components:
Zinc and Zinc Alloy plating
Nickel Chrome plating
Plating on Plastics (POP) or ABS plating
Phosphating
Anodizing
