Manufacturing: Finishing/Surface Conversion

 

There are two main reasons to apply surface treatments to aluminum extrusions: to enhance the appearance or to impart special properties. There are four main categories of surface treatment: mechanical, chemical, electro-chemical, and organic. The appearance may be changed in color and texture while the surface property improvements include: corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, reflectivity, and electrical or thermal insulating capacity. Signature Aluminum is ready to offer you a rainbow of choices with enduring quality that stands the test of time.
