Metal finishing is a surface process of applying a thin layer of another metal, alloy or polymer film. It includes three major processes namely surface pretreatment, surface preparation and the actual coating process. The coating process is categorized basing on which type of element is present in the final coating process either organic, inorganic or hybrid. Due to corrosion and wear of metals it reduces its lifespan. Hence metal finishing is done to improve the life of metals thereby also improving the bonding, electric, shaping and aesthetic properties of it. Metal finishing job may include paints, ceramic coatings, lacquer and other surface treatments. The factors which affect the nature of deposit on the metal surface include current density, metal ion concentration, electrolyte concentration, plating bath solution and temperature.
The market is driven by various end-user industries, such as aircraft components, machine components, medical instruments, automotive components and so on. As the downstream consumption usually follows with developed and rapid economic growth areas, such as BRICS, the developed areas? company prefers investing to underdevelopment regions these years.
