Micro Fin
Aesthetic treatment for an ultra glossy surface
Color: —
Applications: metal alloys of any type (aluminum, steel, inconel, titanium, etc)
Properties: extremely glossy, shiny, rounding-edges
Micro Fin is a chemical/physical non-abrasive polishing process, obtained with innovative methods, alternative and superior to metal polishing, brushing and finishing
Minimum surface roughness
With Micro Fin polishing it is possible to obtain, progressively, a surface roughness value of less than 0.01 μm. In traditional metal polishing and metal brushing the maximum obtainable results on Ra 0.2 μm.
Non-oriented texture
The texture of the surface obtainable with Micro Fin polishing, not presenting preferential directions of the geometric conformation, is not oriented. On the other side, the traditional techniques of metal brushing and metal finishing do not eliminate the roughness but transform it into shorter roughness lines.
Micro Fin polishing allows to obtain an ultra smooth and shiny surface, controlled rounding-edges and a diffused "softness"
Geometries conservation
With Micro Fin the polishing process does not lead to any harmful effect on the geometry of the treated parts as can happen with traditional metal polishing and metal brushing. As it is not a coating, but a conversion of the original surface, the thickness is null.
Unaltered dimensionality
In the innovative Micro Fin polishing the material removed from the surfaces is uniform in the profile. It is possible to maintain the dimensionality allowing to polish even small and medium-sized parts, with complex shapes or with undercut otherwise difficult to submit to metal brushing or metal finishing with traditional methods.
Control and repeatability
Micro Fin polishing process is controlled and perfectly repeatable countless times obtaining the same and symmetrical details. In contrast, traditional metal polishing, brushing and finishing are manual processes not possible to replicate identically.
Micro Fin polishing ensures homogenization of surface characteristics such as skin micro hardness which is significantly increased
Made at low temperatures
Micro Fin polishing process is made at low temperatures, therefore the parts are not affected by overheating.
Unaltered resistance
Micro Fin polishing process is based on a metallurgically safe reaction of surface conversion because it does not generate hydrogen: consequently, the parts maintain their structural resistance without any risk of embrittlement.
Micro Fin polishing increases the performance of subsequent coatings; it increases adhesion and mechanical-chemical resistance of each type of coating
Perfect for anodizing
After the Micro Fin polishing treatment there are tangible benefits in the anodizing color homogeneity with uniformity of tone between parts made through different production methods (e.g. turning, milling, etc.) or different alloys. It is possible to make Micro Fin polishing also on surfaces already anodized in order to make the surface more shiny and glossy.

The synergy between the treatments offered by Precise Technology allows the offer of a service unique in its kind: the possibility of submit the components to two or more treatments in order to follow all the process from beginning to the end and obtain an unsurpassed finished product.
The elements intended for Micro Fin polishing can be previously:
— Solvent or ultrasonic cleaned
— Re-pickled from previous treatments
— Micro shot peened
The Micro Fin polished elements can receive other coatings such as:
— Harden Black
— Pearl Shield
— Carbon Slide
— Passivations to restore components to their original visual appearance (blackened or greytone)
— Anodizing
Pick-up and delivery
The headquarter of Precise Technology SA is strategically located in Chiasso so that it can easily serve, through an organized logistics network, the whole Swiss territory, the whole Italian territory and, more generally, all Europe. Thanks to the pick-up and delivery service, the company can apply Micro Fin treatment (alternative to traditional metal polishing, metal brushing and metal finishing) to corporate and private customers located in Italy, Switzerland and all Europe.
