Finishing Options for CNC Machining Copper
From improved corrosion resistance to refined aesthetics, surface finishes are essential for CNC machined copper parts. We offer a variety of finishing options—such as powder coating, polishing, and electrophoretic coating—each tailored to enhance durability, function, or appearance depending on your application needs.
Electrophoretic Coating
Applies a uniform paint film through an electric field to improve surface corrosion resistance and visual appeal. The result is smooth, even, and protective.
Powder Coating
A dry powder is electrostatically sprayed onto the surface and then cured at high temperature, forming a durable, weather-resistant finish available in a variety of colors.
Polishing
Mechanical or chemical processes remove oxidation and micro-defects to produce a smooth, mirror-like surface—ideal for decorative and functional parts.
Sandblasting
High-speed abrasive particles are blasted onto the surface to remove oxide layers and residues, increase roughness, and enhance adhesion for subsequent coatings.
Brushing
Creates fine, directional textures using abrasive belts or brushes to achieve a matte, decorative finish with a consistent grain pattern.
Electroplating
Deposits a thin layer of metals like nickel, chrome, or copper on the aluminum surface to improve corrosion resistance, wear performance, or achieve a distinct appearance.
