2023 09 08 Hard coating anodizing, also known as hard anodization, is an electrochemical process used to thicken the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminum. This results in a durable and corrosion-resistant coating that enhances the material's properties. It's particularly beneficial for industries where aluminum components require increased hardness and wear resistance.

VMT 2023 09 06 Many renowned watch cases are crafted from 316L stainless steel, known for its durability and elegance. To enhance their luster, these cases undergo polishing. After the polishing process, they exhibit a dazzling metallic sheen, attracting consumers' attention. Some may combine matte or sandblasted surfaces with high-gloss areas to enhance the watch's overall texture. A striking surface and smooth lines showcase the results of the polishing process, but maintaining edges and lines is essential to reveal its beauty.
