Powder Coating
Powder coating services through American Valmark are an efficient method for elevating the performance and design on high-volume production runs. Powder coating applies electrostatic powder that is then baked in a curing oven to develop a hard external coating on manufactured parts in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Powder coating is a useful metal finishing service for instances where other coating techniques may struggle to uniformly or completely coat abnormal angles and complex shapes. We can coordinate powder coating services in a wide range of colors, and the end appearance looks similar to what you would expect from liquid paint but with improved durability and is more environmentally friendly than alternative methods.
Polishing
American Valmark has recently invested in brand-new modernized benchtop polishing equipment for customers in the aerospace, medical, and precision electronics industries that demand mirror-like finishes on aluminum and stainless steel components. With limited regional polishing providers, we are uniquely positioned to deliver machined and polished components to customers at fast turnaround times and competitive prices. Polishing also reduces the adhesion of unwanted debris to the surface, elevates the aesthetic appeal to a mirror-like finish, and improves surface cleanability.
Painting
Painting as a metal finishing service takes a traditional approach and modernizes it to work with complex parts and evolving specifications. Before scheduling wet paint services, we complete in-house pre-treatment services to the component surface and remove any dirt and other contaminants that may impact the final result. The use of a bonding primer before applying paint to the prepared metal is essential to ensure proper adhesion. Finally, the part is cured and dried thoroughly allowing the paint to reach its maximum durability and hardness. Dipping, brush painting, and spray painting are all available with the help of American Valmark professionals, and we will work closely with you to find the best solution for any given part or production volume.
Silk-Screening
American Valmark third-party silk-screening metal finishing services in Texas are useful when applying unique styling to complex designs of metal pieces. The artwork, or design, itself is prepped using specialized software and made into a stencil before it is applied to the metal surface. The comprehensive printing process may require multiple screens and stencils depending on the complexity of the design. Before finalizing silk-screening services, we initiate an exhaustive post-print inspection to ensure that the design is transferred correctly and implement any necessary corrections with our trusted provider before moving to full production.
Engraving
American Valmark in-house engraving is a common metal finishing service used for customizing parts with designs as well as imbuing them with necessary information such as serial and part numbers.
