Did you know 68% of quality complaints in CNC precision machining parts stem from improper surface treatments? Our team discovered this hard truth during a 2025 aerospace project where microscopic pitting caused component failure.
Many manufacturers struggle with irregular surface patterns. The fix? Multi-stage abrasive flow machining. For example, a medical device client achieved 0.8μm Ra consistency using this method.
Anodizing | Powder Coating | |
---|---|---|
Cost | $15-$30/sq.ft | $20-$40/sq.ft |
Durability | 10+ years | 7-12 years |
Q: How does surface finish affect CNC part performance?
A: Proper finishing reduces friction and prevents corrosion.
