Post-processing

Do you need surface treatment or heat treatment?

At Falks, we don’t just manufacture your components – we also offer post-processing services to complement our production. Through collaboration with carefully selected partners, we ensure the delivery of finished parts that are ready for use.

With our extensive experience, we can assist you with everything from protecting steel against corrosion to creating smooth and aesthetically pleasing surfaces. We make sure each component receives the treatment it needs to meet your requirements and expectations.

Below are some of the treatments we offer. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Contact us – we’ll find a solution together!

Selection of processes

Anodizing

Anodizing is an electrolytic process that creates a durable, integrated oxide layer on aluminum for improved durability and corrosion protection.

Black Oxide

Black oxide is a chemical process that creates a thin, black oxide layer on the metal surface to improve corrosion protection and provide an aesthetic finish.

Blast Deburring

Blast deburring is a mechanical process in which small particles are propelled against a component to remove burrs, sharp edges, and irregularities.

Blasting

Blasting is a surface treatment method where materials are cleaned and roughened by propelling sand, steel balls, or other abrasive media against the surface under high pressure.

Chromating

Chromating is a chemical process that forms a thin, passive layer on metals such as aluminum and zinc, enhancing corrosion protection and surface adhesion.

ED Coating

ED coating is an electrolytic surface treatment that creates an even and dense layer with excellent corrosion protection and adhesion, often used as a primer or in less exposed environments as a topcoat.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Electroless nickel plating is a surface treatment process in which a uniform layer of nickel is chemically deposited onto metal, offering high wear resistance and excellent corrosion protection.

Electropolishing

Electropolishing is an electrolytic process that removes microscopic irregularities from metal surfaces, resulting in a smooth, shiny, and corrosion-resistant finish.

Gold Plating

Gold plating is an electrolytic process in which a thin layer of gold is deposited onto a metal surface to improve conductivity, enhance corrosion resistance, and provide an attractive finish.

Grinding/polishing

Grinding and polishing are mechanical processes that remove irregularities and improve the surface of metal to achieve a smooth and often shiny finish.

Hard Anodizing

Hard Anodizing is an electrolytic process that forms a thick and durable oxide layer on aluminum, providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

Nickel Plating

Nickel plating is an electrolytic process in which a layer of nickel is applied to a metal surface to provide protection against corrosion, increase wear resistance, and improve the aesthetic finish of the surface.

Passivation

Passivation is a chemical treatment that creates a protective oxide layer on metal, enhancing corrosion resistance and improving surface cleanliness.

Powder Coating

Powder coating is a surface treatment method in which a powder-based paint layer is applied and cured to a durable, protective and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Quenching and Tempering

Quenching and tempering is a heat treatment process where steel is hardened and then tempered to achieve a balance between high hardness and toughness, enhancing the material's mechanical properties.

Silver Plating

Silver Plating is an electrolytic process in which a thin layer of silver is applied to a metal surface to improve conductivity, corrosion protection, and provide an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Surface Hardening

Surface hardening is a heat treatment process that makes the metal surface hard and wear-resistant, while the core retains its toughness.

Tin Plating

Tin plating is a surface treatment process where a layer of tin is applied to metal surfaces to enhance corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and solderability.

Zinc Plating

Zinc plating is a surface treatment process in which a layer of zinc is applied to steel or iron to protect against corrosion and extend the life of the material.
