Have you ever wondered how to remove stubborn powder coating? This is a challenge I have faced many times as a DIY enthusiast. The proper

We constantly research new metal fabrication techniques to offer our clients the best solutions. Today, I’d like to discuss a subject that has been gaining

Electrostatic painting is a process where paint particles are charged and then attracted to a grounded surface. The basic principle of electrostatic painting relies on the attraction between opposites. The paint particles are positively charged, while the painted object is negatively charged.

Have you ever wondered how aluminum, a simple metal, can be transformed into eye-catching products? Aluminum finishes are the secret to their magic! This article

We use various finishing techniques at Shengen in the fabrication process. The brushed metal is one of the most popular finishes. This technique enhances metal parts’

Hard coat anodizing, or Type III anodizing, produces a thick oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. This process uses an electrolytic solution, typically sulfuric acid, to create the oxide layer. The thickness of the oxide layer created during hard coat anodizing is usually between 25 to 250 microns, depending on the specific requirements.

Anodizing aluminum is an excellent way to add durability and aesthetic appeal to your products. However, achieving the right anodized color can be tricky. If

We are pleased to welcome you to Shengen’s blog, where we explore the fascinating world of metal manufacturing. We’re going to explore a subject that

Bead blast finish is a surface preparation process that improves the surface of metal parts by spraying fine glass or steel beads at high pressure. It removes rust, paint, or other contaminants while giving the part a semi-polished or satin finish.

Bead blasting is widely used for finishing metal parts to improve their appearance, increase corrosion resistance, and prepare surfaces for additional coatings.

The finishing process is a crucial aspect of customizing metal precision parts. Polishing can improve a piece’s overall appearance, functionality, and quality. We’ve seen how

We at Shengen take pride in our ability to understand the complexities of sheet metal fabrication. Brass finishes are popular with our customers, particularly Jack

Stainless steel passivation is a chemical treatment designed to remove free iron and other contaminants from the surface. This process restores the steel’s natural oxide layer, which enhances its corrosion resistance.

Typically, the treatment involves immersing the steel in an acid solution, such as nitric or citric acid, followed by rinsing and drying to ensure a clean and durable surface.

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that removes material from the surface of a metallic workpiece, typically stainless steel or similar alloys.

This technique enhances surface finish and corrosion resistance by selectively dissolving high points in the metal surface, resulting in a smoother, more reflective finish.

Stainless steel finishes refer to the various surface treatments applied to stainless steel to enhance its appearance and performance. These finishes can range from dull to highly reflective and are crucial in determining the material’s suitability for different applications.

I am deeply involved in the industry of sheet metal fabrication. As such, I have a good understanding of the challenges and innovations that are

You’ll want to improve sheet metal components’ durability, resistance, and aesthetics when you source them. What if I told you that there’s a technology that
