Electroplating

Electroplating is the process of applying a thin layer of metal over a metal surface, improving both its appearance and durability. The key electroplating services we provide are:

1. Nickel Plating: Often used for smooth, shiny finishes, this treatment is popular for bathroom fixtures and automotive components due to its resistance to wear and corrosion.
2. Chrome Plating: Known for its mirror-like finish, chrome plating is widely used in automotive trim and accessories, available in both bright and matte finishes to suit different styles.
3. Galvanization: A protective layer of zinc is applied to steel or iron, effectively preventing rust and corrosion. Ideal for outdoor and structural applications.

Coating

As one of the most common aluminum casting surface finishing, powder coating provides a protective shield while enhancing the metal’s appearance. The coating services we offer include:

1. Powder Coating: Available in a variety of colors and textures, this durable coating is baked on to create a hard, long-lasting finish.

2. Stoving Varnish: A versatile coating available in multiple colors with adjustable thickness, providing a robust finish but may affect threading compatibility in some cases.

3. Electrophoretic Paint: This method offers a smooth, glossy finish. Available in black and other colors, it ensures an even, uniform coat.

4. Ceramic Coatings: Perfect for heat resistance, these coatings can withstand temperatures up to 600°C and provide a durable, attractive surface.

5. Teflon Coatings: Known for its non-stick properties, Teflon is ideal for metal surfaces that require resistance to both heat and wear.

Printing

We offer advanced printing methods to add intricate designs to your metal products:

1. Pad Printing: Ideal for flat surfaces, this process uses a silicone pad to transfer detailed designs onto metal in single-color prints.

2. Screen Printing: Suitable for various shapes and sizes, screen printing creates vibrant designs by pressing ink through a mesh screen, ensuring a crisp, bold result.

Anodizing

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on metals like aluminum, titanium, and magnesium. This layer boosts corrosion resistance and can also add vibrant colors that resist fading over time. With thickness options ranging from 0.5 µm to 150 µm, anodizing offers tailored protection for different applications

Laser Processing

Laser treatment is used to enhance the surface properties of metal. This includes:

1.Laser Hardening: The laser hardens the surface layer of metal, improving its wear resistance and longevity.

2.Laser Structuring: Create precise patterns, textures, or engravings on metal surfaces with high accuracy, offering a unique and customizable look.

Polishing

Polishing is essential for achieving a smooth, shiny surface on metal. It enhances both the appearance and durability of the material, and can be tailored to the hardness of the metal.

Shot Blasting

Shot blasting involves propelling tiny particles at high speed onto a metal surface to clean it and remove debris such as rust or old coatings. This prepares the surface for further treatments, improving both appearance and functionality.

Sticker Application

Moldiecasting provides Water Applique Stickers, a unique surface treatment that applies pre-printed designs to metal using water and pressure. This technology offers complete customization, allowing intricate patterns and logos to be applied to metal surfaces. The design is highly resistant to scratches, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting durability.

With our expertise in metal surface treatments, Moldiecasting delivers tailored solutions that enhance both the functional and visual appeal of your products. Whether for industrial, automotive, or decorative purposes, our surface treatments ensure superior quality and lasting performance.
