Precision finishing for industrial parts.

Choose the right process for improved appearance, corrosion resistance, cleanliness, durability, and performance.

Electropolishing

Electropolishing is a controlled electrochemical process that removes a thin surface layer to smooth, deburr and brighten stainless steel and aluminum components.

  • Removes surface impurities and improves cleanability
  • Produces a bright, refined finish
  • Can improve corrosion resistance
  • Reduces surface drag and friction on suitable parts

Electroless Nickel

Electroless nickel is a chemically controlled process that deposits a dense nickel-phosphorus alloy. Coating thickness can be carefully controlled, including on complex geometries.

  • Excellent corrosion protection
  • Uniform coverage on complex shapes
  • Improved wear resistance and hardness
  • Enhanced solderability for suitable applications

Black Oxide

Black oxide is a chemical conversion coating that provides a consistent black finish for metal parts with cosmetic and functional benefits.

  • Improved appearance and reduced glare
  • Additional corrosion protection with suitable sealing
  • Protection without dimensional change
  • Increased lubricity and abrasion resistance

Surface Buildup & Part Restoration

We build worn or undersize surfaces back up with nickel and return parts to size, reducing the need for replacement and long lead times.

  • Nickel buildup on worn surfaces
  • Restoration to specified dimensions
  • Ask us about your part and requirements
