Aluminum
A useful starting point for lightweight housings, brackets and machined components.
SURFACE FINISHING
Bead Blasting
Creates a textured, low-gloss surface.
A uniform matte appearance
Specify the result you need.
Discuss texture, media and masking for threads or precision fits. Appearance samples help define what an acceptable finish looks like.

Material families to review
Stainless Steel
Consider stainless steel when corrosion exposure and cleanable surfaces matter.
Titanium
Evaluate titanium when the application needs a particular combination of weight, strength and corrosion resistance.
Compatibility depends on the specific grade, geometry and treatment specification. Final selection is reviewed with the project.
A finish belongs
in the drawing, too.
Identify visible surfaces, masking areas, contact points and fits. State whether your dimensional requirements apply to the finished part.

Select a process specification and acceptance reference; appearance illustrations do not establish coating thickness, corrosion performance or conformity.
