Common finishes
Anodizing, bead blasting, polishing, passivation, plating, black oxide, brushing, and tumbling
Key Service Details
Send drawings, material, quantity, tolerances, surface finish, and delivery requirements. XHR will review manufacturability before quotation.
Materials
Finish options depend on aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, copper, or titanium
Drawing notes
Color, surface roughness, masking, cosmetic faces, and functional surfaces should be specified
Dimension risk
Coatings and polishing can affect final size, edges, threads, and fitted surfaces
Manufacturing Notes for Buyers
Choose Finish Early
Surface treatment should be discussed before quotation because it can affect machining allowance, process sequence, inspection, lead time, and packing.
Functional vs Cosmetic Surfaces
A part may have both functional surfaces and cosmetic faces. Marking these clearly helps XHR protect the right areas and inspect the correct dimensions after finishing.
Typical Applications
- Anodized aluminum housings and panels
- Passivated stainless steel components
- Black oxide shafts and steel parts
- Polished or brushed visible machine parts

FAQ
Can XHR provide anodized aluminum parts?
Yes. Anodizing can be discussed for suitable aluminum parts, including color and cosmetic requirements.
Should surface finish be on the drawing?
Yes. Finish type, color, surface roughness, masking, and cosmetic requirements should be noted whenever possible.
Can finishing change part dimensions?
Yes. Coatings, polishing, and blasting may change surfaces or edges, so critical features should be discussed before production.
