It is possible to "remove or reshape the Surface Finish Services layer" of precision machined component using a variety of different surface finishing techniques. These finishing techniques can be applied to a wide range of materials and provide increased durability, tighter tolerances, better aesthetics, and improved functionality for a wide range of applications in a variety of industries.

A list of some of the most common types of finishing services that "remove or re-shape the surface layer" of a turned component is provided below, along with examples:

Machine Part with Electro Polished Finish – Precision Machine Part with Electro Polished Finish

is a polishing process that removes material from the Surface Finish Services of a machine component by applying an electrical current to the component. It is possible to improve the surface finish by leveling out the micro-peaks and valleys on the surface layer of metal that have been created during the machining process by using this procedure. It is the polar opposite of electroplating, which is a process in which a current is used to add material to the surface of a machined component in order to level out the top layer of the component's .

Grinding –Precision machined part with a polished outside diameter (OD).- Pioneering Customer Service

is a process in which material is removed from the  of a precision turned component with the help of an abrasive grinding wheel. This improves the Surface Finish Services finish while also providing extremely accurate dimensions for a wide range of applications in a variety of industries. Finishing processes such as centerless or centered grinding may be used to complete the turning process, depending on the geometry of the component. OD (outside diameter) and ID (inside diameter) of the components, as well as a variety of different types of features on the components (for example: holes, slots, and flats), can all be ground.

Honing is a subset of grinding that is used on the inside diameter (ID) of a precision machined component to make it more accurate. It is more similar to a polishing process than it is to a true grinding process in nature. An abrasive stone (hone) rotated in a circular motion is used to remove or polish a thin layer of the surface material during the honing process.

When used on the outside diameter of a precision turned component to improve the  finish and provide tighter dimensional control, lapping is also considered a subset of the grinding process. When the abrasive material is applied to a lap plate in paste form, it is passed against the plate to remove or polish the  layer of the component being worked on.

Engraving with a laser –

is a process in which a laser is used to create an image (usually letters, numbers, or a logo) on the surface of a precision machined component that has been precisely machined. The metal is vaporized by the laser beam. Whenever the required font or shape cannot be created during the turning (or milling) process, this procedure is used to achieve the desired result.

Pickling is a method of preserving food

The process of removing material from the  layer of a metal by means of a chemical reaction. Surface Finish Services scale created during the heat treatment process is the most common reason why it is used to clean (remove) surface scale from precision machined components. Components are immersed in an acid bath, which dissolves the oxide scale that has formed on the  of the component.

Tumbling is a verb that means to fall

To tumble components, a rotating barrel is filled with tumbling media in various sizes and types that rub against the surface layer of the components being tumbled. Using this method, excess material and burrs are removed from the , which can also harden the surface and remove machining marks, as well as brighten and burnish the parts. Material, geometry (size and features), and final requirements will all influence how large and what type of media is used in the component. Tumbling media can be made of a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and plastics, and they are available in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Vibratory Finishing (also known as vibratory finishing

A machine that looks like a tub and contains vibratory media is used to process turned components in a similar way to tumble processing. It is necessary to vibrate the tub so that the media jostles against the part, removing  marks and burrs and leaving an improved finish in the process. For turned components, vibratory finishing is used more frequently than barrel tumbling because of the complexity of the features and the tight tolerances of the parts to be finished.
