Importance of Surface Treatment on Workpiece

A variety of surface treatment methods are available for workpiece including optical coating, anodizing, vacuum plating, chemical plating etc. Some of the higher quality surface treatments are constantly used in the chemical industry, electronics industry, and machinery industry. Below are some of the significances using surface treatment on workpiece:

1. Providing Protection Substrate

Surface treatments are required for metal protection and military products. Reason behind this is that nearly 2.2 trillion dollars are spent on combating corrosion. By applying surface treatment to the workpiece, it can provide a good protection layer to prevent rust, orange peel, and corrosion as it minimizes the exposure to humidity, oxygen and even any chemical products that might accidentally get on.  

2. Wear Resistance

Wear and tear are common in every industry due to constant movements and friction forces. Surface treatment can diminish the friction between two surfaces, reducing the risk of cease movements that might cause mechanical damage, or worst, sparks that can ignite fire in moving metallic parts.

3. Extending Durability and Cost Savings

By decreasing the rate of corrosion, the lifespan of the workpiece will increase, and therefore saving cost in maintenance, and investment in replacement parts.

To sum up, surface treatment is a cost effective step in providing great protection to workpiece and achieving great business results.
