Finishing Stainless Steel Parts
| One of the great things about stainless steel is that it looks good on its own but can be enhanced using variety of finishes, depending on how you manufacture your parts. |
| Image | Finish | Description | Available For |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Aging | This process strengthens parts by exposing them to high temperatures, allowing for changes in the part's microstructure |
3D Printing |
 |
Annealing | This process heats the part to a high temperature and then it's rapidly cooled, resulting in a change in microstructure and improved ductility |
3D Printing |
 |
Anodizing | Types I, II, and III improve part durability and can add color |
CNC Machining |
 |
Bead Blasting | Light bead blast to provide uniform finish and light texture |
CNC Machining |
 |
Black Oxide | Improves corrosion resistance | CNC Machining |
 |
Brushing | Achieves uniform, stain-like surface finish | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Brushing + Electropolishing | Results in easy-to-clean parts that are corrosion resistant | CNC Machining |
 |
Clear Chromate | Improves corrosion resistance, adds electrical conductivity, and the ability to paint parts | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
CNC Machining | Quickly adds machinable features that would take longer via 3D printing | 3D Printing |
 |
Electroless Nickel Plating | A wear-, abrasion-, and corrosion-resistance finish | CNC Machining 3D Printing Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Hot Isostatic Plating (HIP) | This process uses a combination of heat and pressure to reduce internal microporosity | 3D Printing |
 |
Custom or Standard | Finishing options for 3D-printed aluminum parts | 3D Printing |
 |
Inserts | Used to incorporate off-the-shelf hardware components to facilitate assembly | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Masking | Using tape, rounds, and plugs, we can avoid applying finishes to specific locations on your parts | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Part Marking | Add numbers to each part to easily identify and trace them. | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Passivation | Chemical process that enhances durability and corrosion resistance on metal surfaces | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Polishing | Creates mirror-like finishes | CNC Machining 3D Printing |
 |
Powder Coating | Dry pigment in a wide variety of colors is blown onto metal and bonds electrostatically, the parts then get oven dried creating a thick and protective coating | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Silk Screening | Ink is forced through a stencil and fine mesh screen onto the metal surface | CNC Machining Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Standard Finishing (CNC Machining) |
Three standard surface finish options are available for machined aluminum (edges broken, edges broken and light bead blast, or leave sharp) | CNC Machining |
 |
Standard Finishing (Sheet Metal Fabrication) |
Choose from orbital sander or straight grain/brushed |
Sheet Metal Fabrication |
 |
Wet Paint | Provides a colorful coating in virtually any color | CNC Machining 3D Printing Sheet Metal Fabrication |
Common Applications for Stainless Steel Parts
Stainless steel makes sense in these applications thanks to its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. In medical parts, stainless steel is a good choice because it is easy to clean and sanitize.
