Industrial

In the industrial, manufacturing, oil, gas, and agricultural industries, numerous components and parts undergo surface treatments like anodizing, hard anodizing, chromating, Electroless nickel plating, and passivation to enhance their performance, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Here is an extended list of components commonly subjected to these surface treatments:

Semi-Conductor Components that are anodized, plated or chemically processed:

Pumps and Pump Components:Anodizing: Pump housings, impellers, and shafts for corrosion resistance and wear protection.
Hard Anodizing: Pump wear rings and high-stress components for enhanced surface hardness.
Electroless Nickel Plating: Pump internals, including gears and bearings, for wear resistance.
Valves and Valve Components:Anodizing: Valve bodies, stems, and actuators for corrosion protection and improved wear resistance.
Chromating: Valve ball, seat, and plug surfaces for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Passivation: Stainless steel valve components for improved corrosion protection.
Motors and Motor Housings:Anodizing: Motor housings and heat sinks for improved thermal dissipation and corrosion resistance.
Electroless Nickel Plating: Motor shafts and armature assemblies for wear and corrosion resistance.
