Surface Finish can be specified for difference processes and can alter the way the material performs in the following ways:

• Increase corrosion resistance
• Helping with adhesion of paint and other coatings
• Eliminating surface defects
• Increase chemical resistance
• Increased conductivity
• Increased strength and resistance to wear
• Reducing friction
• Enhanced aesthetics

The finer the finish, the more expensive and time consuming the process - and therefore care should be taken to select a finish which is correct for your application.
