What Is Aluminum Alloy Enclosure High Gloss Surface Treatment?

What is metal highlights?

The word highlight has appeared in many fields. Although it is slightly different, it is an effective way to help users improve their appearance.

In the art field, highlight is a surface treatment form used to modify the shape of the face, brighten the skin color and increase the three-dimensional skeletal feeling of the face. In our metal industry, highlight is also a very common surface treatment method. The bright and smooth appearance of the aluminum alloy enclosure is due to the high gloss surface treatment.

To understand highlight, you must start with polishing. Polishing is one of the common processing technologies for the surface of aluminum alloy enclosure. The commonly used polishing methods include mechanical polishing, chemical polishing and electrolytic polishing. It refers to a machining method that uses mechanical, metal project box chemical or electrochemical action to reduce the surface roughness of the work piece to obtain a bright and flat surface.

So what's the relationship between highlight and polishing? In fact, the two are inclusive. Highlight refers to a high degree of polishing, and the effect is much higher. Generally, it refers to mirror polishing. In short, highlight = mirror finish.

YONGUCASE has rich experience in precision technology of aluminum panel mirror treatment and sheet metal box fabrication. The proofing project of mirror treatment effect is very important, and it is also an opportunity to reflect the strength of a department.

We once received a customer's demand for proofing the mirror effect of the power amplifier panel. Considering the materials and costs selected by the customer, our engineers at that time directly used the equipment to do the highlight process to achieve the mirror effect.

After the custom metal case process is selected, the next work is division of labor and cooperation, including the procurement of raw materials, the selection and adjustment of equipment, the preparation and setting of procedures, testing and demonstration, etc. Among them, the preparation of machining program is a key link. How to use the best tool to achieve the final effect tests not only the familiarity with programming, but also the understanding of the whole machining.

In addition, machine adjustment is one of the most critical steps before processing. If the equipment is not set properly, it will cause serious consequences. Especially for precision products, the whole process requires not only skillful technology, but also enough patience. Any deviation in any place will lead to the abandonment of previous achievements.

After testing with standard parts again and again, processing can be started after the knife path and tools are properly aligned. Mirror processing is different from ordinary products. Instead of using cutting fluid, it is changed to alcohol. Alcohol is used to take away the heat in the processing process, and the lubrication program is set.

After the first round of roughening, with the use of special tools, the product after rubbing has shown a mirror effect. Next, fine grinding is carried out. Under the action of alcohol, the whole aluminum alloy surface gradually becomes denser and closer to the mirror effect.
