Surface treatment

Surface treatment involves applying processes or coatings to the outer layer of a material, usually metal or plastic, to improve its performance, appearance, or durability. This can include cleaning, polishing, painting, or applying protective layers like galvanization or coatings to prevent rust, corrosion, or wear. The goal is to enhance the material’s strength, longevity, or visual appeal, making it better suited for its intended use. Surface treatments are common in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing to ensure parts last longer and maintain quality.
