aluminium finish

[maxopus]

Good morning.
I was commissioned by a customer to make a new product.
This is an electronic pen for the aesthetic sector.
I attach an image to make you understand a lot of what this is about.
I have defined all dimensional and functional specifications and now I want to make a proposal on surface aesthetic finish.

As a rule these objects are made of aluminum for reasons of lightness and heat dissipation (inside there is a micromotor at 6-7,000 rpm).

I think that in order to have a good aesthetic finish you have to proceed with a mechanical processing with 1,6 roughness and therefore with an anodic oxidation that can be neutral or colored.

I wanted to ask if you happen to know companies that carry out such processes or if, for example, you know companies that make a lacquer of excellent quality on metal minuteries.
the problem is the resistance of the finish, we talk about professional objects subject to a very intense use, so the finish must last years.
I know some companies in the area that make anodic oxidation but, they do not work on minuteries with specifications of high aesthetic quality.
Do you realize that you want to finish the barrel of a montblanc... what process would you adopt?

Thank you in advance.

Good morning
allora a beautiful turning of very extreme velocity shaped with plaques for use in aluminium type 2500,3000giri with f,0.8ecc
then external turning, tapering, and internal drilling to accommodate everything you need.
After that you can pass to the treatment, that if I remember badly here from me in the industrial zone there is a company that makes aluminum treatments on every object, I must see if it is still standing after the crisis a few years ago.
Do you need a minute? ?
I can hear about the companies. I have a friend who realizes in aluminium the shaver cases. :finger: Magari can turn me a few straight

Hello max, thank you.
If there's any company that can do it, why not.
I propose it to the customer and then, since he will have to decide the lot for prototyping and for the series, he will make his choices.
See you soon.

certainly without problems......:finger::smile:

I need daisies for anodic oxidation http://www.lattes.it/main.html I am close to my company and are professional, for finishing you may also think of a sandblasting and after proceeding with a hard anodization or with a polishing and following colored anodization there are many possible roads, all depends also on the volumes.

Hi.
As for my experience I usually address to the gaser group (search on google) have many light alloy treatments available in many applications.
if you go to their site you will find complete technical data sheets of treatments.

thanks to all for the info, I will keep you updated on the outcome.

Hello, Max
If you are interested in anodic oxidation and other processes I can tell you that with the company of the link I have got to work there (I am here in Emilia Romagna). are always available for any technical clarification.
I met them not directly but I had to deal with them because they are suppliers of the company where I worked

good evening max...
I called the company that I mentioned to you, and they told me that they treat more small parts only of large thicknesses.
reason with the crisis that there has been lost many customers like the aurora that made him special treatments ... sincato I am sorry :frown::frownra nn make certain treatments for reasons of cost .:frown:

Hello

if after processing perform a polishing treatment you get a surface that looks a lot like chrome.

apologies max but I am a tool used in the aesthetic centers, considering that, given the argument, the hands of the operator could be sweaters I would suggest you cover the handle with breathable material
