DOUGCO was established in 1964 as a Mass Finishing Job Shop offering mechanical surface finishing, including vibratory and<\/strong> tumble deburring and burnishing<\/strong>.  We also offer a passivation process<\/strong> to passivate the finished surface and resin impregnation<\/strong> to seal porous metal castings.  Contact us to develop the process that best fits your needs. (Note: Dougco does not do chrome plating, anodizing, painting, etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is deburring<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n

Broadly speaking, deburring removes material from the outside of a part, leaving the finished part smooth, but with a dull and distinctive finish.  For pieces shaped like a pot, the inside of that pot will not be deburred using our process.<\/p>\n

What is burnishing<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n

Again, broadly speaking, burnishing will clean a part and make it shiny, while also hardening the outside of the part.<\/p>\n

Our processes produce clean, dry parts with surface finishes suitable for direct use, or prepped for additional manufacturing steps at another facility such as plating, anodizing, painting, powder coating, etc.<\/p>\n

We will match the surface finish on an existing part, or develop and customize a new finish to meet your requirements.<\/p>\n

Our resin impregnation<\/strong><\/a> process is a vacuum\/pressure impregnation process with a high temperature cure. Impregnation will not physically affect castings in any way except to seal the pores. Impregnated parts may then be plated, painted or powder coated, etc.<\/p>\n
