Barrel Finishing Services: Adding Value and Durability to Your Metal Parts

 Barrel Finishing Services

Are you tired of parts that wear out too quickly or look rough and unfinished? Do you want to improve the quality and durability of your metal parts? If so, you should consider barrel finishing services. Barrel finishing is a process that can add value and durability to your metal parts, making them last longer and look better. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of barrel finishing services and how Mechanical Finishers, Inc. can help.

What is Barrel Finishing?

Barrel finishing is a type of mass finishing that uses a rotating barrel or drum to polish, deburr, and clean metal parts. The barrel is filled with abrasive media, such as ceramic or steel balls, and a liquid compound. The parts are placed in the barrel and rotated for a set amount of time. As the barrel rotates, the abrasive media rubs against the parts, removing rough edges, smoothing surfaces, and polishing the metal. The liquid compound helps to clean and lubricate the parts, preventing rust and corrosion.

Benefits of Barrel Finishing

Barrel finishing services offer several benefits for metal parts, including:
  • Improved Durability
Barrel finishing can improve the durability of metal parts by removing surface imperfections and strengthening the metal. The process can reduce the risk of fatigue and stress cracks, which can cause parts to fail prematurely.
  • Enhanced Appearance
Barrel finishing can also enhance the appearance of metal parts by smoothing out rough surfaces, removing scratches and blemishes, and adding a polished finish. The process can give parts a uniform and consistent appearance, which is important for aesthetic and branding purposes.

  • Increased Functionality
Barrel finishing can also improve the functionality of metal parts by removing burrs, sharp edges, and other imperfections that can interfere with performance. The process can help to improve the fit and function of parts, reducing friction and wear.
  • Cost Savings
Barrel finishing can also save money by reducing the need for additional machining or manual finishing. The process can be automated, allowing for large volumes of parts to be finished quickly and efficiently.
