What are the common surface treatment techniques used for materials in the manufacturing of consumer goods?

Surface post-treatment processes are commonly used in the consumer goods industry to improve the properties of materials and components, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and surface finish. Some of the commonly used surface post-treatment processes in the consumer goods industry include:

Painting: Painting is a process that applies a protective coating to the surface of a material using a spray gun. The coating can improve the appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance of the material.

Plating: Plating is a process that deposits a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a material, typically for decorative or corrosion-resistant purposes.

Powder coating: Powder coating is a process that applies a protective coating to the surface of a material using a spray gun. The coating is typically made of a thermoset polymer powder that is cured under heat to form a hard, durable finish.
