Texera’s 4 surface treatments for metal parts

Texera, a leading company in the wire guide field, goes beyond wire tool production. The Italy-based company's commitment to quality also extends to a wide range of surface treatments for metal parts.

Texera offers two chrome plating options for steel and stainless steel wire, each with a specific desired outcome. Satin chrome plating produces a matte or slightly opaque finish with a rougher surface and a satin appearance. This treatment reduces reflection and gives the piece a less shiny plating.

On the other hand, bright chrome plating creates a highly reflective and mirror-like finish. This type of plating requires more polishing and buffing of the chrome coating to achieve a smooth and reflective surface.

For steel, the company also offers nickel plating, which involves applying a layer of nickel to the metal surface. This treatment provides corrosion protection and improves wear resistance. Nickel plating can be done with either a bright or satin finish, depending on the customer's preferences.

The last surface treatment is anodizing, which is specific for aluminum and its alloys: this electrochemical process creates a protective layer of oxide (known as anode) on the aluminum surface. Like nickel plating, this treatment enhances corrosion resistance, increases surface hardness, and allows for color and dye application. It is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries to improve the appearance and durability of aluminum components.

Texera is committed to offering top-notch products and services, which is why it has recently implemented an internal quality control department. Each company product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability and exceptional performance at all levels.
