What is injection molding ?
Injection molding is a manufacturing process that forms products into specific shapes by injecting molten materials (plastics, metals, or composites) into a mold cavity under high pressure, followed by cooling and solidification. This technology is widely used for producing high-volume, high-precision, and complex-shaped parts, characterized by high automation levels, high material utilization (up to 95%), and excellent product consistency.

Surface finish for Injection molding part
Injection molded parts can be enhanced and strengthened through various surface treatment processes, such as polishing, spraying, and electroplating, to improve their visual appeal and texture. These techniques not only increase the durability of the parts but also meet diverse functional and aesthetic requirements, adding greater value to the product. Below are the surface treatment options we frequently utilize.

Machined finish
The prototype processed by the machine tool retains traces of tool machining.

Anodizing
Anodizing enhances the corrosion and wear resistance of metals and enables coloring and coating, suitable for metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.

Polish
Polishing enhances surface finish and aesthetic appeal, suitable for materials such as metals, ceramics, plastics, and PMMA.

Sand blasting
Sandblasting involves propelling abrasive material at high pressure or mechanically onto a workpiece to achieve a clean, roughened, and matte finish.

Brushed finish
Brushed finish creates a textured pattern on metal surfaces, enhancing aesthetic appeal. Suitable for aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and other materials.

Powder coating
Powder coating is applied to the workpiece surface via electrostatic adhesion, then cured at high temperatures to form a dense coating, enhancing the corrosion resistance of metal and plastic surfaces.

Electroplating finish
Metal plating is deposited onto material surfaces through electrolytic processes to enhance corrosion resistance and wear resistance. This technique is suitable for metals and certain plastics.

Black oxidize
A black oxide coating is formed on metal surfaces through chemical oxidation, offering low cost, a simple process, and reduced light reflection.

Electropolish
Removes microscopic protrusions from metal surfaces through electrochemical anodic dissolution, creating a smooth, dense surface free of residual stress and highly corrosion-resistant. Capable of processing complex metals and conductive materials.

Alodine
Forms a protective coating on surfaces through chemical conversion, enhancing corrosion resistance and adhesion. Environmentally friendly with excellent conductivity, suitable for aluminum and magnesium alloys.

Heat treatment
By altering the internal microstructure of metallic materials through heating, this process enhances hardness, strength, toughness, and wear resistance. It is suitable for metals such as steel, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and titanium alloys.
