Metal Finishing Chemistry
Mass Finishing
Our Metal Finishing Chemistry solutions for mass finishing are expertly formulated to meet the surface preparation needs of manufacturers working with steel, brass, copper, aluminum, and multi-metal parts. These mild acid and mildly alkaline compounds are engineered for use in vibratory and other mass finishing systems, delivering powerful cleaning, brightening, and rust protection in a single step.
Whether removing heat treat scale, quench oils, buffing residues, or preparing surfaces for finishing, these chemistries offer flexibility with both abrasive and non-abrasive media. With low-foaming, glycol ether-free formulations and compatibility across diverse substrates, they provide clean, bright, and consistent finishes while supporting safer handling, improved media performance, and environmentally responsible operations.
Isotropic Surface Finishing
The JEI Isotropic Surface Finishing process removes surface irregularities with the assistance of media from metal components that are created during the forming and heat treat processes. After the appropriate vibratory process, the surface of the parts exhibit an extremely bright finish, low RA numbers, and very low surface tension.
By matching the correct media with our 3-step vibratory process, customers see improved quality and less rework. Our patent tested process drastically reduces your chemical usage and shortens your overall cycle time.
Isotropic Applications:
- Axle Gears
- Bearings
- Camshafts
- Crankshafts
- Gun Magazines
- Rocker Arms
- Steering Components
- Tappets
