Differencies in atomic and crystalline structure of metals result in their different polarization when immersed into an elctrolyte bath, which may be so significant, that at the same electrolyte bath one metal becomes anode, while another becomes cathode. The differencies occur even more complicated, when treating metal alloys, which actually are the practical cases. The task turns yet even more complicated when matching elctrolyte to special requierements of a working part.
These differencies lead to necessity to develop a specific electrolyte for every metal, and to match it consequantally to every alloy, and then to configurate process parameters for every specific part.
Finish Line developed, elaborated and/or matched appropiate electrolytes for all its Anode Treatment Processes, in frames of theoretical limits, for all metals it faced surving the customers: Stanless Steels (both Austenitic and Martencitic), Titanium, Nitinol, CoCr Alloys, Aluminum and Copper, and few “exotic” metals, like Zirconia and Tantalum.
Stanless Steels (both Austenitic and Martencitic), Titanium and Nitinol parts are at a high market demand for anode treatment processing, and these metals are treated at the Company’s lines at industrial scale of up to thousands units per day.
CoCr Alloys, Aluminum and Copper Anode Treatment Processes are validated at the Company on pilot scale, and may be operated at full industrial scale, subject to previous adjusting to specific requirements of a customer.
Finish Line is capable to develop/adjust any needed Anode Treatment Process for any metal or alloy for specific customers’ items, following practical marketing needs.
