Define the finish with the finished part.KingTeam provides surface finishing as part of custom metal component supply. Share the base material, treatment specification and surfaces that matter so we can review the finish with machining, final fit and inspection.Treatment suitability, appearance and acceptance requirements are confirmed for the material and drawing before production.Email your drawingsContact KingTeamAI-generated illustration: examples of finished metal components.
Surface finishing options
Choose the treatment for the base material and the function of the treated surfaces. Include the required specification and acceptance criteria in the enquiry.
AnodisingAluminium surface treatmentFor aluminium parts where an anodic oxide finish is specified. Include the treatment specification, colour, sealing requirements and critical dimensions.
ElectroplatingSpecified metallic coatingA deposited metal layer can serve protection, appearance or other specified functions. State the coating system, substrate and required coverage.
PassivationStainless steel treatmentFor stainless steel where chemical cleaning to remove surface free iron is required. State the applicable process and acceptance requirements.
Bead or abrasive blastingMechanical surface preparationFor a specified matte texture or preparation step. Agree the media, visible areas and surfaces that must be protected.
Brushing and polishingMechanical appearance finishesFor directional grain or a specified polished appearance. Identify the grain direction and cosmetic areas; use a reference sample where needed.
Powder coating and paintingColour and protective coatingsFor a specified organic coating system. Include colour, gloss, coverage and masking needs, together with the service environment.
Set the acceptance requirements
Define the functional and appearance criteria used to accept production parts. Agree how the relevant surfaces will be checked.
Dimensions after finishingIdentify fits, threads, sealing faces and other critical features. Specify which dimensions apply after treatment and review any allowance or masking.Appearance and coverageMark visible faces, grain direction and acceptable contact-mark locations. Agree colour and texture references with the viewing conditions where needed.Tests and recordsState any coating-thickness, adhesion, corrosion or other test requirements. The method, acceptance criteria and reporting scope need agreement.
Plan treatment with machining and assembly
Finishing can affect dimensions and the condition of mating surfaces. Review the operation sequence and protection needs before the route is released.
Masking and contact pointsMark areas that must remain untreated and where fixture or electrical contact marks may be accepted. The practical method is reviewed for the part.Threads and mating featuresInclude the final fit requirement. Confirm whether features need allowance, masking or an agreed operation after treatment.Material and colour variationAlloy, preparation and surface texture can affect appearance. Agree an achievable reference for the actual material and production route.Handling after finishingIdentify surfaces vulnerable to contact marks. Agree batch handling and delivery protection without compromising functional areas.

Frequently asked questions
Details to settle when ordering finished metal components.
Can you supply machining and finishing together?Yes. KingTeam can review the manufacturing and finishing requirements together for custom components, with the route agreed against the drawing.Will finishing change the part dimensions?Some treatments add a layer or remove material. Identify final fit requirements so the effects on critical surfaces can be reviewed before machining.Can a photo define the required colour?A photo can guide the discussion, but lighting and screens affect its appearance. For cosmetic requirements, agree a physical reference and acceptance conditions where practical.Does passivation give a mirror finish?Passivation and polishing serve different purposes. Specify polishing separately if a particular appearance or surface texture is required.Can you guarantee a salt-spray duration?Specify the test method, duration and pass criteria. Any test or performance commitment must be confirmed for the material and coating system before ordering.Can the same finish be applied to every metal?Treatment compatibility depends on the substrate and its condition. Send the material grade and finish specification so the proposed combination can be reviewed.
