What is Metal Finishing?
Metal finishing is the process of placing some sort of metal coating on the surface of a metallic part. Metal finishing usually involves the implementation of a process to clean, polish, or improve a surface. The industry includes a wide range of processes with a variety of benefits depending on the application.
Industrial metal finishing can do the following:
- Limit the impact of corrosion
- Serve as a primer coat, promoting adhesion
- Strengthen the substrate and increase wear resistance
- Improve the appearance of a part
- Increase solderability
- Make a surface electrically conductive
- Enhance chemical resistance
- Clean, polish, and remove surface defects
Corrosion can steal billions from businesses and organizations all over the world. This can be stopped with anodizing and other metal finishing systems to prevent loss of functionality and a diminished aesthetic.
Metal Finishing - Aluminum Anodizing Systems
Anodizing systems can improve corrosion and wear resistance and also provide better adhesion. QS designs and builds custom aluminum anodizing lines for precision applications.
- Type I - Chromic Acid Anodizing
- Type II - Sulfuric Acid Anodizing
- Type III - Hard Coat Anodizing
- Phosphoric Acid Anodizing (PAA)
- Boric & Sulfuric Acid Anodizing (BSAA)
Metal Finishing - Electropolishing & Electroplating System
Electroplating, or plating, is often included in metal finishing and consists of a process that deposits metal ions onto a substrate via an electric current. QS designs and builds custom plating systems for both decorative and functional needs.
- Zinc Plating
- Copper Plating

PDG offers a comprehensive four-step process for metal finishing systems
Our Process for Designing & Installing Systems
Stage 1: Discovery
The process will start when you fill out and submit a Project Request Form detailing relevant information about your project needs. A team member will get back to you to further discuss your specific needs and may set up an on-site meeting to evaluate the facility, required materials, environmental issues, and any other important pieces.
Stage 2: Planning & Refining
The team at QS will then design a comprehensive metal finishing system design layout, selecting and sizing the equipment. Any feedback from the customer is welcome at this point to refine the system before final approval.
Stage 3: Engineering & Pre-Production
Stage 4: Installation & Training
In the final step of our process, our team will work onsite to manage the installation of your system, ensuring all components are compliant and operational. They will also provide in-depth training for your operators to get the system up and running faster.
