CNC Turning Surface Finishes
With a wide selection of surface finishes, RapiDirect can help improve the surface qualities of your products. Surface finishes applied to your CNC turned parts aim at improving their appearance, surface hardness and roughness, chemical and corrosion resistance, etc. They also help hide any visible tool marks from areas cut with live tooling. Here are some of your top choices.
As Machined
As machined finish leaves the surface straight from the CNC machine, providing a cost-effective option with tool marks.
Anodizing
Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.
Polishing
Polishing achieves a high gloss finish, reducing surface roughness and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of metals.
Sand Blasting
Sand blasting uses pressurized sand or other media to clean and texture the surface, creating a uniform, matte finish.
Tumbling
Tumbling smooths and polishes small parts by friction and abrasion in a barrel, offering a consistent but slightly textured finish.
Electropolish
Electropolish is a chemical process that smooths and brightens surfaces while improving corrosion resistance.
Alodine
Alodine coating provides corrosion protection and improves paint adhesion, mainly used on aluminum surfaces.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment alters the mechanical properties of metal to increase its hardness, strength, or ductility.
Brushed Finish
A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.
Powder Coating
Powder coating applies a thick, wear-resistant layer with excellent color and texture options, suitable for a variety of surfaces.
Electroplating
Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.
Black oxidize
Black oxidize is a conversion coating for ferrous metals that improves corrosion resistance and minimizes light reflection.
How Does CNC Turning Work?
CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing operation that uses computer-controlled lathes to precisely shape material into cylindrical parts. Initially, the design of the part is created using CAD software and converted into instructions for the CNC machine using CAM software. During setup, the correct cutting tools are installed, and a cylindrical workpiece is secured in the machine’s chuck, which holds and rotates the material.
As the machine operates, the workpiece spins at high speeds while the cutting tools move along various axes to carve, cut, and shape the material based on the program’s specifications. Operations such as facing, threading, knurling, and drilling are performed during this stage. A coolant is often applied to prevent overheating and to wash away debris.
After machining, the part may undergo additional finishing processes like sanding or polishing. The final step involves a thorough inspection to ensure the part meets all the required dimensions and tolerances. This process allows for high precision and repeatability, making CNC turning ideal for producing complex parts efficiently.
