How to achieve diecast-like finish on
machined aluminum?
June 17, 2008
I am trying to duplicate a die cast like surface finish on a
machined aluminum part.
It is an after market service part that needs to appear exactly like
the production die cast part.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hmmmmm. If you want to match the exact appearance, you may have to
go to a 2 step mass finishing system. First step would be a wet
process using coarse plastic ziconia composition media followed bya
dry abrasive organic media.
