Precision Machining and Post-Processing of Hardware Parts: Nitriding, Anodizing, Sandblasting, and Electrocoating
The processing of metal parts does not end with CNC cutting. The post-processing technology determines the corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and appearance of the parts. Dongguan Yiruida Technology Co., Ltd. provides comprehensive metal processing and post-processing services from aluminum alloys to stainless steel and magnesium alloys, meeting the strict requirements of industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical.
Processable Metal Materials
- Aluminum Alloy (6061, 7075, 5052)
- Stainless Steel (304, 316L)
- Magnesium Alloy, Brass, Copper
- High-Strength Steel S550MC
Detailed Explanation of Post-Processing Technology
1. Anodizing
- Applies only to aluminum alloys.
- Increases surface hardness (up to HV300 or higher) and improves corrosion resistance.
- Available colors: natural color, black, red, blue, etc.
- Sandblasting + Anodizing: First sandblast to remove tool marks, then anodize to achieve a matte texture.
2. Nitriding
- Applies to stainless steel and alloy steel.
- Forms a hardened layer on the part surface (HV800-1200), improving wear resistance.
- Suitable for gears, shafts, and mold parts.
3. Electrocoating + Powder Coating
- Electrocoating: Uniform coverage, excellent rust prevention, usually black.
- Powder Coating: Thick coating, impact resistance, rich colors.
- Suitable for structural parts such as S550MC, like car chassis components.
4. Sandblasting
- Removes oxide scale and tool marks, achieving a uniform matte surface.
- Can be used as pretreatment for anodizing or electrocoating.
5. Natural Finish
- Maintains the original metal color, only deburring and cleaning are done.
Typical Application Cases
- Aerospace Bracket: 7075 Aluminum Alloy CNC Machining + Sandblasting + Hard Anodizing
- Medical Surgical Instruments: Stainless Steel CNC Machining + Nitriding + Polishing
- Automotive Suspension Parts: S550MC Stamping + Electrocoating + Powder Coating
