Metal finishing is the process of placing the metal coating on the surface of a metallic part, referred to as a substrate. It can also involve the implementation of a process for cleaning and polishing. Metal finishing chemicals are used to treat the surface of metal products by forming a thin coating to enhance the appearance, function, or performance of the product, and increase marketability. Electrolytic plating, electroless plating, and chemical and electrochemical conversion processes are widely used processes for metal finishing.
