Metal finishing is a crucial step in enhancing the durability, appearance, and performance of metal parts. Whether it’s for aesthetic purposes or to improve corrosion resistance, the success of the final finish heavily relies on one key factor—surface preparation. In this post, we’ll explain why...
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances the natural formation of an oxide layer on the surface of a metal substrate. Aluminum alloys are the most common materials to undergo this treatment. Anodizing boosts the aluminum substrate’s ability to resist corrosion, improving the performance, durability, longevity,...
At ChemResearch Corporation, hard chrome plating is just one of the many metal plating solutions we provide. Hard chrome plating is widely used for improving the durability of metal parts, but it has a variety of other applications as well. The benefits of hard chrome...
Passivation removes contaminants from metal surfaces and improves corrosion resistance. Passivation is an important step after the manufacturing of stainless steel and other metal parts that ensures sufficient rust resistance. At ChemResearch Corporation, passivation is one of the many surface treatments we provide to manufacturers...
National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) standards are industry-recognized best practices and quality requirements. They ensure that the products and services of a company meet the necessary caliber mandated by the aerospace industry. The purpose of the NADCAP program is to homogenize the industry...
