This category contains sites concerned with two main aspects of finishing or altering the nature or surfaces of parts made from metal and a small variety of other materials. On the one hand, the focus is on such processes as cleaning, deburring, degreasing, polishing, and generally improving the appearance of something. On the other hand, the interest is in changing its original or final composition through such processes as electroless or electrolytic plating.
Note: There is a certain degree of overlap in the sites gathered in this category and others that are scattered through other parts of the Machinery_and_Tools segment of the Open Directory Project. To mention only two examples, centrifuges have a category all of their own and many machine tool sites feature deburring equipment. However, although the distinctions are perhaps somewhat fine, the essential rationale for including a site in this Plating,_Polishing category is the focus on the finishing industries rather than the process and metalworking ones.
