Finishing of components
Finishing of cast metal parts is an important part of the manufacturing of many different products. It is the process of working with the metal parts after they have been cast to give them the desired finish and shape. There are several different methods for finishing cast metal parts, depending on the final product and the requirements placed on it.
One of the most common methods is grinding and polishing. This is done to remove any unevenness and give the item a smooth and shiny surface. This can be done manually or with the help of machines.
Galvanizing is also a popular method of finishing cast metal items. This is done to protect the metal from corrosion and rust. Galvanizing can be done by covering the metal with a thin layer of another metal, such as zinc or copper.
Lacquering is also a common method of finishing cast metal parts. This provides the part with a protective barrier against the elements and can also give the part a specific color or finish.
Passepartout is also a method of finishing cast metal items, this is done to give the item a rounded edge and make it more aesthetically pleasing.
It is important to choose the right method for finishing cast metal parts, as it can have a significant impact on the quality, durability and appearance of the final product.
If components are to be used where high demands are placed on robustness against wear, we offer Fe Støberiet A/S various types of finishing that make the products more resistant to wear.
Some components must be used in an environment where high demands are placed on robustness against breakage. Therefore, we offer Fe Støberiet finishing treatment that strengthens the tensile strength – also called stress relief.
Examples of finishing treatments:
The construction and agricultural machinery industry in particular uses fully or partially hardened components so that the product can withstand the heavy wear and tear of being pulled through clay soil.
