Surface Finishing & Final Inspection

Edelbrock Aluminum Foundry and Machining Full Tour & Behind the Scenes! (Pouring Molten Metal!)
What happens here
After machining, parts undergo further inspection and specialized surface treatments. This includes blasting to achieve an even finish and applying unique coatings such as 'Plasma' (chrome-like) or 'Black Plasma' (black chrome-like) finishes, which are replacements for traditional EnduraShine. The parts are then hand-finished to address any small details and ensure quality, as some intricate tasks cannot be perfectly replicated by machines. This manual finishing also serves as an additional quality control step.
Goal: Apply specialized finishes and conduct thorough final inspections to ensure product quality and aesthetics.
