| Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture | Link | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. | Learn More>> |
 | Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss | Learn More>> |
 | Electroplating | Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish | Learn More>> |
 | Polishing | Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection. | Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Glossy | Learn More>> |
 | Brushing | Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | satin | Learn More |

HDA Technology
The 4 parts look great and work very well. This order was to solve a problem on some equipment, so only the 4 parts were needed.
We were very pleased with your quality, cost and delivery, and will certainly order from you in the future. I have also recommended you to friends who own other companies.
