Finishing Operations and Casting Machining
The process does not end after casting – finishing operations are decisive for the final quality and reliability of the product. At TENZA cast, we specialize in advanced mechanical, abrasive, and thermal methods for machining and cleaning castings. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of our specialists, we guarantee smooth surfaces, burr removal, and precise dimensional parameters in accordance with customer requirements.   Our Finishing Technologies Tumbling Tumbling is one of the fundamental mechanical processes used for the efficient removal of scale, impurities, and surface irregularities from castings. Through a controlled process, a uniformly smooth surface is achieved, ready for further use or surface finishing.   Shot Blasting Shot blasting is a fast and effective surface cleaning method using abrasive particles propelled by compressed air. This process removes scale, residual molding material, and surface corrosion, while simultaneously improving adhesion for subsequent coatings such as paints or surface treatments.   Sandblasting Sandblasting enables precise mechanical cleaning of castings using finer abrasive media. The result is a smooth and uniform surface, ideal for components with aesthetic or functional quality requirements.   Thermal Deburring (TEM) TEM – Thermal Deburring is an advanced technology in which burrs and residual material are removed by controlled combustion of a gas mixture. The result is a completely clean and safe surface, particularly suitable for complex geometries where conventional mechanical methods are insufficient.   Thermal Burr Removal This process ensures the removal of burrs even in hard-to-reach areas, increasing the safety and functionality of castings. It is the ideal solution for components with demanding geometries where precision finishing is essential.   Why Choose TENZA CAST for Finishing Operations A wide range of methods – from conventional mechanical processes to advanced TEM technology.

Surface Treatments and Corrosion Protection
Zinc alloys are characterized by excellent inherent properties, which can be further enhanced through appropriate surface treatment. Surface finishing not only increases corrosion resistance, but also ensures an aesthetic appearance and additional functional properties according to customer requirements. At TENZA cast, we provide a wide range of advanced surface treatments – from basic mechanical methods to sophisticated electroplating processes and cathodic dip coating (KTL).   Mechanical Surface Treatments Before applying protective coatings, the casting surface is typically pre-treated: Vibratory tumbling with polishing media – to achieve a smooth surface, Abrasive blasting – to ensure uniform cleaning and surface homogenization. These processes create an optimal base for subsequent coating layers. Electroplating and Alloy Coatings Electroplating processes provide a high level of protection against corrosion and mechanical wear. The most commonly used methods include: Acid and alkaline zinc plating – universal corrosion protection, ZnNi (zinc-nickel alloy coating) – high resistance in aggressive environments (e.g., automotive industry), ZnFe (zinc-iron alloy coating) – a cost-effective combination of corrosion protection and performance. Alloy coatings are particularly suitable for components exposed to high humidity, chemical influences, or long-term mechanical stress. Passivation – A Protective Barrier Against Corrosion Standard passivation – basic protection that extends surface service life, Thick-film passivation – enhanced resistance to moisture, salts, and chemically aggressive environments. Passivation increases the effectiveness of electroplated coatings and significantly improves the durability of castings.. KTL – Cathodic Dip Coating Cathodic dip coating (KTL) is an advanced painting technology in which the component is immersed in a bath and coated with paint through an electrochemical process. Advantages of KTL: High and uniform coverage, even in cavities and hard-to-reach areas, Excellent corrosion resistance, Smooth and aesthetically appealing surface finish, Possibility of combination with additional coating systems.   Decorative Surface Finishes For customers who also emphasize visual appearance, we offer: Chrome plating (bright or matte), Nickel plating, Powder coating in customer-specified colors, Additional customized surface effects.   Advantages of Surface Treatments at TENZA cast Broad portfolio of technologies – from standard to highly specialized processes, Increased resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, Aesthetic and decorative enhancements, Adaptation to specific operating conditions, Comprehensive solutions including surface preparation and final quality inspection.
