| Phosphating |
 |
| Phosphating
is the conversion of the metal surface into an insoluble lattice of metal
and crystalline phosphate. Advantages of phosphate include uniform coating
on irregularly shaped objects, excellent bonding agent for rust preventative.
Phosphated parts withstand up to 178 hour salt spray testing. Colors available
range from gray to black. |

| Black
Oxiding |
 |
| Black
Oxiding is a conversion finish which does not increase part dimensions,
or alter the luster, or hardness of the part. Black Oxide cannot chip or
rub off. Other advantages of Black Oxide are the absorption of rust preventative,
and very high heat tolerance. Parts can withstand up to 96 hour salt spray
testing. The action of the solution forms an iron oxide which is black in
color. |

| Aluminum
Irriditing |
 |
| Irriditing
is a chemical conversion process which provides a seal coating that protects
the aluminum surface. Irriditing produces an oxide coating that prevents
further oxidation. This process may be applied in either yellow, or clear,
which appears as bare aluminum. |

| Hand
Deburring/Sanding |
 |
| Hand
Deburring removes excess metal from stampings or machined parts. Hand Deburring
may also reduce sharp edges from parts. Typically belt sanders or wire wheels
are used. |

| Passivating |
 |
| Passivating
regenerates the passive film that protects stainless steel. A chemical treatment,
passivating removes all ferrous metal and microscopic surface impurities,
such as airborne iron, steel and dust particles from stainless surfaces.
JTF has multiple passivating lines to meet our customer's growing needs. |

| Tumbling/Vibratory
Deburr |
 |
| Tumbling
and vibratory deburr utilize abrasive media combined with a machine that
tumbles or vibrates the parts. Both processes remove excess burrs and sharp
edges from stampings and machined materials. Virbratory deburr is more suitable
for parts requiring special handling, such as camshafts. |

| Shot
Blasting |
 |
| Shot
Blasting uses fine steel media to clean, descale and remove rust from parts.
Parts are "sprayed" with shot, similar to sandblasting, revealing
the original bright metallic appearance. The restored surface has a uniform
luster, optimized for lube adhesion. |

| Degreasing/Washing |
 |
| Degreasing
is essential when fabricating or assembling parts. Degreasing is widely
used to remove oils and oil-borne contaminants such as shavings, metal fines
and fluxes created from the part production process. |

|
| Pickling |
 |
| Pickling
is the immersion of metals in an acid solution to remove fire scale and
oxides caused by heating, annealing, casting and soldering. Pickling is
highly effective for rust removal. Once rinsed, the parts are clean and
contaminant free. Finally, parts are treated with a rust preventative for
corrosion protection. |

| Packaging/Sorting |
 |
| In addition to metal
finishing, Jackson Tumble Finish will customize solutions for sorting and
packaging. The customer may specify their proprietary process and dunnage
to be used, or allow JTF to offer standard hand or bulk packaging methods. |
