Anodizing
Enhance the wear resistance and surface hardness of your aluminum parts with our anodizing service. Through our partnership with premier vendors, we offer both Type II (sulfuric) and Type III (hardcoat) anodizing solutions. Type II anodizing delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant finish ideal for general-purpose applications, while Type III (hardcoat) provides superior thickness and hardness for components exposed to extreme wear or aggressive environments. Both options allow for vibrant coloration tailored to your specific aesthetic or functional requirements
Heat Treating
We offer specialized heat treating services tailored to enhance the mechanical properties of your components. These services include atmosphere hardening, atmosphere carburizing, carbonitriding, induction hardening, normalizing, annealing, and stress relieving. Each process is designed to increase strength, wear resistance, or ductility depending on your application needs. With precise thermal control and metallurgical expertise, we ensure reliable and repeatable outcomes for every part.
Black Oxide Surface Treatment
Ideal for ferrous metals, black oxide treatment provides an added layer of oxidation that enhances corrosion resistance while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances. This treatment not only improves durability but also minimizes light reflection for certain applications.
Plating
Choose from a variety of metal coatings and finishes to increase the corrosion resistance of your parts with our plating service. Plating of parts enhances their surface properties for improved wear resistance and aesthetic appeal. Whether you require electroplating, electroless plating, or other plating processes for your project, we have a finishing solution to meet your specific needs.
