Continuous metal surface treatments

Continuous treatments on metal surfaces (aluminum, steel, and copper).

The service we offer is aimed at transforming the metal surface for technical and/or aesthetic applications. Through these treatments, the metal can acquire greater surface strength, be suitable for use in outdoor environments, have a specific color. In addtion, the total reflection of the metal can be increased or, on the contrary, reduced heat emissivity by increasing absorption.

Anodization

The continuous electrochemical process more commonly called anodizing is a surface treatment on aluminum alloy sheets. AThrough this process, a thin protective layer of very hard and compact oxide is formed on the aluminum surface, enhancing its performance in terms of reflection, homogeneity and resistance to corrosion and wear for technical and decorative purposes.

homogeneity of color across the entire surface, reproducibility and durability.

Almeco has in its plant in San Giuliano Milanese Four anodization in continuous lines.

PVD

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology is a continuous deposition treatment in special vacuum chambers of thin metallic and ceramic films, carried out by evaporation or sputtering. Ions are attracted to the metal surface, forming the coating layer.

Lacquering

Through the selective coating process – developed by Almeco with a specific line installed at the plant in San Giuliano Milanese – a transparent coating is applied to aluminum, copper, and steel alloys that increases their surface strength, Making the metal scratch-resistant or suitable for aggressive environments..

Embossing

One of the works in which Almeco has over time specialized is the embossing of aluminum. It consists, through the use of special equipment, in the imprinting on the surface of textures and patterns, with the result of increasing the strength of the metal, and create aesthetic motifs of great charm and originality.
