Surface Finishes and Plating Options

As-Machined Finish represents the standard surface produced directly from CNC turning or milling operations, typically achieving Ra 1.6 to 3.2 microns depending on tooling, cutting parameters, and material grade. This finish is economical and suitable for components where appearance is secondary to function, including internal mechanical parts, structural components, and industrial equipment housings.

Passivation Treatment per ASTM A967 or AMS 2700 involves immersion in nitric acid or citric acid solutions to remove free iron contamination and enhance the natural chromium oxide passive layer, improving corrosion resistance by 3-5 times compared to as-machined surfaces. Passivation is mandatory for medical device components, pharmaceutical equipment, food processing parts, and any application requiring enhanced chemical resistance. The process adds no dimensional change and maintains the as-machined appearance while significantly improving performance in corrosive environments.

Electropolishing removes 10-40 microns of surface material through controlled electrochemical dissolution, achieving mirror-like surface finishes down to Ra 0.15 microns while simultaneously deburring edges, improving corrosion resistance, and creating ultra-clean surfaces required for semiconductor equipment, pharmaceutical processing, biotechnology applications, and hygienic food processing equipment. Electropolished surfaces exhibit superior cleanability, reduced bacterial adhesion, and enhanced aesthetic appearance. The process slightly reduces component dimensions, requiring machining oversize by 0.02-0.05mm on critical dimensions.

Mechanical Polishing produces various aesthetic and functional finishes designated by grit numbers and industry standards. Number 4 brushed finish (120-150 grit) provides a linear grain pattern common in architectural applications and kitchen equipment. Number 6 dull polish offers a soft satin appearance for decorative applications. Number 7 high-reflective finish approaches mirror quality suitable for pharmaceutical equipment and display applications. Number 8 mirror finish (achieved through sequential polishing with grits up to 600) delivers maximum reflectivity for aesthetic applications, lighting reflectors, and decorative architectural elements.

Bead Blasting with glass beads or ceramic media creates uniform matte surfaces with controlled roughness (Ra 2.0-4.0 microns), excellent for achieving consistent appearance on visible surfaces, improving paint or coating adhesion, and providing non-reflective finishes for optical equipment housings. Bead blasting also effectively removes machining marks and surface irregularities.

Tumbling and Vibratory Finishing in ceramic or porcelain media deburrs edges, rounds sharp corners to specified radii (typically 0.1-0.5mm), and creates uniform satin surfaces on small to medium components. This mass finishing process is economical for high-volume production of fasteners, fittings, and small machined parts requiring consistent edge breaks and appearance.

Black Oxide Coating (though uncommon on Stainless Steel) can be applied to martensitic grades for decorative black finish and minimal lubricity improvement, achieving 0.0005-0.001mm coating thickness with negligible dimensional change.

PTFE (Teflon) Coating provides non-stick, low-friction surfaces (coefficient of friction 0.05-0.15) with excellent chemical resistance, applied in 10-40 micron thickness for food processing equipment, chemical handling components, and applications requiring release properties.

Custom Finishing capabilities include laser marking for permanent part identification and traceability, engraving for serial numbers and logos, decorative chrome plating on select grades for aesthetic applications, and nickel plating where magnetic properties must be minimized despite using martensitic stainless grades.

Standard Turnaround Time and Production Scheduling

Our manufacturing lead times balance rapid prototyping capabilities with efficient production scheduling for volume orders. Standard turnaround time ranges from 4 to 6 weeks from purchase order receipt to shipment, encompassing material procurement, production scheduling, machining operations, quality inspection, surface treatment, and final packaging. This timeline accommodates typical production runs of 500 to 50,000 pieces in standard Stainless Steel grades (304, 316) with conventional machining processes.

Expedited Production (2 to 3 weeks) is available for urgent requirements involving readily available material grades, straightforward geometries, and smaller quantities (under 1,000 pieces), subject to capacity availability and premium pricing to offset schedule disruption. We maintain strategic inventory of common bar stock sizes in 304 and 316 grades specifically to enable faster turnaround for emergency orders.

Prototype and Sample Production (5 to 10 business days) serves new product development with quick-turn capability for design verification quantities (1 to 25 pieces) machined on CNC equipment with minimal setup requirements. Rapid prototyping allows iterative design refinement before committing to production tooling and high-volume manufacturing.

High-Volume Production Runs (exceeding 100,000 pieces annually) benefit from dedicated production scheduling, kitted material inventory, and optimized tooling strategies reducing incremental lead times to 3 to 4 weeks for repeat orders once initial production is established. Annual blanket purchase orders with scheduled releases enable even tighter delivery windows through pre-allocated capacity and inventory management.

Factors Affecting Lead Time include material availability (specialty grades like duplex stainless or precipitation hardening alloys may require 2-3 weeks material lead time), component complexity (intricate geometries requiring multiple operations and setups), tolerance requirements (precision grinding or lapping operations add 3-5 days), special surface treatments (electropolishing adds 5-7 days, passivation adds 2-3 days), and inspection requirements (first article inspection, material testing, dimensional reports add 2-4 days). Custom packaging with client logos and specific marking requirements may extend timelines by 3-5 days.

Our production scheduling system utilizes capacity planning software to provide realistic delivery commitments considering current shop load, material procurement status, and quality inspection requirements. We communicate proactively if any factors impact scheduled delivery dates, offering alternatives to maintain project timelines. Rush services are accommodated whenever possible, with our engineering team working flexible schedules to meet critical customer deadlines.

Comprehensive Questions and Answers

What Stainless Steel grades are best for marine environments exposed to saltwater? Grade 316 and 316L Stainless Steel containing 2-3% molybdenum provide superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich seawater environments. For the most aggressive marine applications, duplex grades like 2205 or super austenitic grades such as 254SMO offer even greater corrosion resistance with pitting resistance equivalent numbers (PREN) exceeding 40.

Can you machine hardened Stainless Steel materials like 17-4PH after heat treatment? We can machine precipitation hardening grades like 17-4PH in the solution annealed condition (relatively soft at approximately 95 HRB), then heat treat to achieve specified hardness up to H1150 condition (28-32 HRC). For applications requiring machining after hardening, we utilize carbide tooling, reduced cutting speeds, and grinding operations to achieve final dimensions on hardened material up to 44 HRC.

How do you prevent work hardening when machining austenitic Stainless Steels? Austenitic Stainless Steels rapidly work-harden during machining, requiring sharp carbide or coated tooling, positive rake angles, adequate cutting speeds (200-400 surface feet per minute), sufficient feed rates to maintain cuts below the work-hardened layer, and high-pressure coolant delivery directly at the cutting zone. Our experienced machinists optimize parameters specific to each grade to minimize work hardening effects.

What tolerances can you achieve on small-diameter Swiss machined components? Swiss-type automatic lathes with guide bushing support achieve positional tolerances of ±0.002mm to ±0.005mm on diameters as small as 1mm, with length tolerances of ±0.01mm on features up to 10 times the diameter. Concentricity within 0.002mm total indicator reading is routinely maintained due to the unique workpiece support immediately adjacent to cutting tools.

Is passivation necessary for all Stainless Steel machined components? Passivation is essential for applications requiring maximum corrosion resistance including medical devices, pharmaceutical equipment, food processing components, and marine hardware. The process removes free iron contamination from machining and enhances the protective chromium oxide layer. For purely structural or internal mechanical components not exposed to corrosive environments, passivation may be optional based on application requirements.

Can you produce Stainless Steel components meeting FDA requirements for food contact? We manufacture components from FDA-approved grades (304, 316) with surface finishes meeting 3-A Sanitary Standards, including electropolished surfaces achieving Ra 0.4 microns or better for excellent cleanability.

Contains chromium (16-26%) and nickel (6-22%) as primary alloying elements.

CNC Turning: Computer Numerically Controlled machining process where workpiece rotates while stationary cutting tool removes material, producing cylindrical components with rotational symmetry. Enables complex geometries, tight tolerances, and high repeatability.

Electropolishing: Electrochemical surface treatment removing 10-40 microns through controlled anodic dissolution, producing ultra-smooth surfaces (Ra 0.15-0.3 microns), enhanced corrosion resistance, and bacteria-resistant properties essential for sanitary applications.

Free-Machining Grades: Stainless steel alloys (like 303 and 416) containing sulfur, selenium, or lead additions that improve chip-breaking characteristics and reduce cutting forces, enabling higher production speeds on automatic screw machines despite slightly reduced corrosion resistance compared to standard grades.

GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing): Standardized symbolic language (per ASME Y14.5 or ISO 1101) defining dimensional and geometric characteristics of components including form, orientation, location, and runout tolerances more precisely than traditional plus/minus dimensioning.

Martensitic Stainless Steel: Magnetic stainless steel family (including 410, 420, 440C) characterized by body-centered tetragonal crystal structure, hardenable through heat treatment to achieve high hardness and strength, with moderate corrosion resistance suitable for cutting tools, fasteners, and wear-resistant applications.

Passivation: Chemical treatment (typically nitric acid or citric acid per ASTM A967) removing free iron contamination from machined surfaces and enhancing the natural chromium oxide passive layer, significantly improving corrosion resistance without dimensional change or visual appearance alteration.

Precipitation Hardening: Heat treatment process for special stainless grades (17-4PH, 15-5PH) involving solution annealing followed by aging at 480-620°C, precipitating intermetallic compounds that dramatically increase strength and hardness while maintaining good corrosion resistance.

PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number): Calculated index predicting pitting corrosion resistance in chloride environments using formula: PREN = %Cr + 3.3(%Mo) + 16(%N). Higher values indicate superior resistance, with values above 40 (super duplex, super austenitic) providing excellent seawater resistance.

Screw Machining: High-speed production method using automatic cam-operated or CNC-controlled lathes processing bar stock through sequential turning, threading, drilling, and cutoff operations, ideal for millions of small precision components annually with per-piece costs far below CNC alternatives.

Solution Annealing: Heat treatment for austenitic stainless steels involving heating to 1040-1150°C to dissolve carbides into solid solution, followed by rapid cooling to prevent carbide precipitation, restoring maximum corrosion resistance and ductility after welding or machining-induced work hardening.

Swiss Machining: Ultra-precise manufacturing method using sliding headstock automatic lathes with guide bushing supporting workpiece immediately adjacent to cutting zone, enabling micron-level tolerances on small-diameter (1-32mm) components with high length-to-diameter ratios.

Thread Rolling: Cold-forming process where hardened dies displace material to form threads rather than cutting, producing 25-30% stronger threads through grain flow alignment and work hardening, with superior fatigue resistance and surface finish compared to cut threads.

Work Hardening: Phenomenon where austenitic stainless steels become significantly harder and more difficult to machine during cutting due to plastic deformation at cutting zone, requiring sharp tools, appropriate feeds/speeds, and strategic machining sequences to manage effectively.
