Additional Capabilities
01
EDM (Wire/Sinker)
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) services allow for precise shaping and machining of complex geometries.
02
Passivation
Chemical processes remove free iron and other contaminants from the surface of stainless steel, improving its corrosion resistance.
03
Precision Grinding
Get back to smooth operations with precision grinding services that use abrasive grains to achieve high tolerances and smooth surface finishes.
04
Splining
Accurate splining to create desired grooves and/or teeth on cylindrical components can help enhance power transmission efficiency and component longevity.
05
E-Beam Welding
E-beam welding joins metal components with deep penetration and minimal distortion, making it ideal for critical applications in aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
06
Laser Cladding
Repair worn components or enhance surface properties and gain improved wear resistance and corrosion protection for critical parts.
07
QPQ
QPQ treatment enhances the hardness and corrosion resistance of steel components, extending their lifespan and performance in applications such as oil and gas, automotive, firearms, and hydraulic systems.
08
Phosphate
Phosphate coating improves the corrosion resistance and paint adhesion of steel components, making it suitable for industries like oil and gas and automotive.
09
Shot Peen
Shot peening strengthens metal components by inducing compressive residual stresses, improving fatigue life and resistance to stress corrosion cracking in industries like aerospace and automotive.
10
Gun Drilling
Gun drilling creates precise, straight holes with a high length-to-diameter ratio, ideal for producing fuel injectors, engine cylinders, and more.
11
Hard Facing
Hard facing increases the hardness and wear resistance of metal components, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
12
3D Printing
3D printing offers design freedom and rapid prototyping capabilities, enabling on-demand production of complex parts with reduced lead times and material waste.
13
Carbide Tile Inlay
Carbide tile inlay enhances the wear resistance and durability of metal components by embedding hard carbide tiles into the surface, improving cutting performance and tool longevity.
