The brass cladding has a decorative finish. Glossy decorative brass finishes are used on wire woods, decorative lamps, furniture hardware, and builders hardware. Brass plating can be used for the following finishes, Polished Brass, Satin Brass, and Antique Brass. Heavy brass deposits are used for finishes that will be polished, honed, aged, or oxidized. It is a low temperature process that operates at 105 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used in both rack and keg operations. It is a single additive process with excellent launching power that produces a bright, highly desirable 70/30 brass color of a greenish-yellow color. Flashing over nickel plating produces a super glossy brass finish. The copper and zinc plate are bonded into a uniform alloy composition over a wider temperature range and current density, helping to reduce rejections due to poor color, non-uniformity, and low-rust finishes.
Anodizing is the procedure by which the natural film on aluminum is greatly increased in thickness. The metal is on the anode side of the galvanic series. Its position is similar to zinc and magnesium, that is, it is easily oxidized. This oxide on aluminum is physically resistant to corrosion, resistant to abrasion, very hard, insulating and very tough. In its natural form, the oxide film is less than 0.50 microns thick. Since the naturally occurring film is so thin and adhered to a soft, flexible metal, it is easily damaged. Therefore, the construction of this coating will provide very useful properties for aluminum anodizing in Dallas. Preparation The very basis of any excellent coating is preparation. Good preparation is necessary for anodizing. Oils and fats are removed in weak alkaline solutions and the exterior is etched to remove heavy oxides. After rinsing, the metallic aluminum is immersed in a desmut solution to remove insoluble aluminum components remaining on the exterior
