Finishing and pre-treatment
Finishing refers to the last action of an operation to achieve a good finish to correct dimensions. Pre-treatment is a method of treating a material so as to alter it and to make it more receptive to future treatments or products. Includes polishing, painting, buffing, texturing, deburring, washing and cleaning, coatings, thermal treatment and marking.
