Stainless Steel Brush Finish in Aluminium Profiles  

January 23, 2009

I require Stainless Steel finish on Aluminium Profiles which is currently available in Imported Products, the similar kind of Finish is not there in Any Anodising Plant in India.

So, I have started anodising factory of my own, however I do not have enough technical Data, to get the desired finish, even the company from whom I'm purchase the Chemicals for Anodising.

I need Technical Data from a consultant for the same

Hoping to get the results

If the company that you buy the chemicals can not give your enough help, you will have to hire a consultant. You will find it extremely difficult to get the information for nothing over the internet because we can not see your parts or the process that you are trying to duplicate.
It very probably is anodized and dyed. The surface may be glass beaded or heavy etched or require a mechanical finish.

In hind sight, you should have verified from your chemical supplier that they could help you get a match for your imported finish before you committed yourself to them. I would have had them do a few sample parts in their lab. If they could not do that, I would not have bought from them, regardless of price.

As is mentioned in other responses, we could advise only if we had a physical sample of the requested finish as it could just be a brush finish looking like inox with the help of the clear anodizing layer.
