Tailor-Made Treatments for Long-Lasting Performance
TECHNICAL AND AESTHETIC TREATMENTS FOR OPTIMAL QUALITY
We understand that a part’s performance depends not only on the precision of its machining, but also on the treatments applied to it, whether technical or aesthetic.
We offer a wide range of heat and surface treatments, tailored to the specific characteristics of each material, whether steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or brass.
OMF – OUDAERT METAL FINISHING
As Oudaert’s sister company, OMF shares the same commitment to quality and benefits from the expertise of a highly experienced team.
Thanks to daily shuttles between our two sites, we ensure smooth and rapid production follow-up, from machining to finishing. The result: optimized lead times, high responsiveness, and perfect coordination.
OMF offers a wide range of surface treatments to enhance the quality and appearance of your parts.
Zinc plating is an anti-corrosion treatment that involves coating parts with a layer of zinc to protect them from rust. Blue zinc plating provides a neutral, understated metallic appearance, while yellow zinc plating gives an iridescent finish with golden reflections.
Nickel plating is a process of depositing nickel onto parts, providing protection while enhancing their appearance. Matte nickel plating gives a sober and uniform look, whereas satin nickel plating offers a subtle shine and a smooth feel.
Chrome plating involves applying a thin layer of chrome onto metal parts. It provides a highly shiny finish, enhances resistance to wear and corrosion, and gives a premium aesthetic appearance.
Polishing is a mechanical treatment that smooths the surface of parts to remove any roughness. It produces a shiny, smooth, and clean finish.
Tin plating involves depositing a layer of tin onto parts. It is used to prevent oxidation, facilitate electrical connections or soldering, and comply with certain food-grade standards.
A Network of Trusted Partners
A chemical treatment that enhances the corrosion protection of parts and promotes the adhesion of paints or lubricants. It is widely used before assembly or painting.
Specifically designed for aluminum, anodizing creates a protective and decorative oxide layer.
Natural anodizing provides a silver-gray finish, while black anodizing offers a modern, technical appearance.
A variant of traditional zinc plating, black zinc plating offers effective corrosion protection while providing a dark, uniform appearance, valued in many industrial and design applications.
Our partners also perform several types of heat treatments to enhance the hardness, wear resistance, or mechanical properties of parts :
-
Carburizing
-
Quenching
-
Nitriding
-
Carbonitriding
For years, Oudaert has relied on a network of qualified subcontractors, selected for their expertise, responsiveness, and reliability.
These partnerships allow us to offer a wide range of surface and heat treatments, complementing those performed in-house by our sister company, OMF.
Whether aesthetic or technical, we ensure full oversight with the same level of quality and traceability.
