Technologies / External Processes

External Processes.

Coordinated external manufacturing processes through trusted specialist partners — managed as part of your complete supply chain.

One partner, complete coverage.

Many precision components require surface treatments or thermal processes that complement machining. Rather than managing multiple suppliers, we coordinate these external processes through our qualified partner network — providing you with a single point of contact and a coherent quality chain.

Anodizing

Hard and decorative anodizing for aluminum components — color options, wear resistance, and corrosion protection.

Chemical nickel plating

Electroless nickel for uniform coating thickness on complex geometries, including internal surfaces.

Hard chrome plating

Wear-resistant hard chrome for components subject to mechanical abrasion and high contact stress.

Heat treatment

Hardening, case-hardening, stress relief annealing, and aging — coordinated with material-matched processes.

Passivation

Electrochemical passivation of stainless steel to remove free iron and enhance corrosion resistance.

Black anodizing

Optical-grade black anodizing for stray light suppression in optical housings and baffles.

PVD coating

Physical vapor deposition for hard coatings — TiN, TiAlN, and DLC for tooling and wear parts.

Laser marking

Permanent part identification via fiber laser — part numbers, serial numbers, logos, and QR codes.

Bonding & adhesives

Structural bonding and encapsulation with aerospace-grade adhesive systems.

How it works

1
Define
You specify the required surface treatment as part of the component drawing or conversation with our engineers.
2
Source
We select the appropriate certified partner process and manage the technical specification transfer.
3
Execute
Parts are sent to our partners and monitored for compliance with your specifications.
4
Deliver
Treated components are inspected and delivered — documented as part of the complete part file.
