Processes
Process Description
Laser Cutting
A powerful, computer-controlled laser is used to
precisely cut shapes or designs into metal.
Investment Casting
Ceramic-mold casting process in which a number
of small parts are cast simultaneously in a ceramic
mold.
Metal Polishing
Welding
Applied using polishing wheels with a buffing
compound. Polishing produces a mirror-like finish
and, depending on the material, may enhance
corrosion resistance. For many of our products, initial
polishing takes place at the vendor facility and final
polishing takes place at our facility.
A process that joins two similar metals by causing
coalescence. Usually accomplished by melting the
work pieces and adding a filler material to form a
pool of molten metal that cools to become a strong
joint.
