In response to different market demands, the Iron Bead Chain does use different surface treatment processes to enhance the product's aesthetics, durability and meet specific usage scenarios. Electroplating is a process of plating a layer of metal on a metal surface. In the production of Iron Bead Chains, electroplating is mainly used to plate a layer of metal such as nickel and chromium on the surface of the iron beads to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the chain. It is often used to make high-end Iron Bead Chains or products that need to enhance surface hardness and gloss.
Spray painting is a process of spraying paint onto the metal surface, which can provide the Iron Bead Chain with a beautiful appearance and protective coating, making it less susceptible to corrosion and pollution. It is suitable for Iron Bead Chain products that pursue a colorful and personalized appearance. By spraying paint, rich colors and pattern effects can be achieved.
Sandblasting is a process of spraying strong abrasives on the surface of an object. In the surface treatment of Iron Bead Chains, sandblasting is often used to remove oxides and dirt on the surface of iron beads, or to form a frosted texture to enhance artistic beauty. Suitable for Iron Bead Chain products that need to increase surface roughness, enhance grip or create a retro style.
Anodizing is a process that improves surface properties by generating an oxide film on the metal surface. In the surface treatment of Iron Bead Chains (although iron itself is not commonly anodized, similar processes can be applied to other metals such as aluminum bead chains), this process can form a colorful and corrosion-resistant surface layer on the chain surface. Although Iron Bead Chains are not often anodized, similar processes can create rich colors and enhance durability on aluminum or other metal bead chains suitable for anodizing.
In view of the rust-prone nature of Iron Bead Chains, special anti-rust treatment is essential. This usually includes applying anti-rust oil, anti-rust paint or chemical passivation treatment on the surface of the iron beads. All Iron Bead Chain products should be subjected to a certain degree of anti-rust treatment to ensure their long-term stability in humid and corrosive environments.
Polishing is a process that removes metal surface defects and increases gloss by mechanical or chemical methods. In the production of Iron Bead Chains, polishing can be applied to the surface of the iron beads to make them smoother and brighter. It is suitable for Iron Bead Chain products that pursue high gloss and mirror effect. Through polishing, the overall aesthetics of the product can be significantly improved.
