Process Development Overview
Process development involves designing and refining metal finishing techniques, such as electroplating, deburring, and parts cleaning, to eliminate defects, enhance surface quality, and meet specific performance requirements. By customising machinery, media, and methods to the substrate and application, it ensures consistent, high-quality finishes for metals, plastics, and ceramics, addressing challenges like porosity, burrs, or contaminants.
Benefits of Process Development
Process development offers several advantages:
-
Customised Solutions: Tailors processes to specific materials and goals.
-
Improved Quality: Eliminates defects, ensuring durable, uniform finishes.
-
Cost Efficiency: Optimises processes to reduce waste and production costs.
-
Enhanced Competitiveness: Improves part performance and reliability.
-
Scalability: Adapts to both small-scale and high-volume production needs.
Applications of Process Development
Process development is critical for various applications:
-
Electroplating Optimisation: Refines plating for steel, Invar, or titanium components.
-
Deburring: Removes sharp edges from machined gears and aerospace parts.
-
Parts Cleaning: Develops cleaning for intricate electronics or medical implants.
-
Surface Preparation: Enhances adhesion for coatings on automotive parts.
