Our services
- Controlled Shot Peening
Prevents fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, fretting, galling and increases wear resistance - Shot Peen Forming
Uses beneficial compressive stresses to create curvature and profile from flat panels. Similarly will correct distortion from machining and heat treatment - Laser Peening
Induces compressive residual stresses 5 to 10 times deeper than shot peening with minimal surface disruption - Isotropic Finishing (Superfinishing)
Reduces wear and friction and improves resistance to micro and macro-pitting - Wet Treatments/Anodizing
Protects against damage and corrosion
- Heat Treatment
Relieves stresses, improves strength and protects again adverse conditions - Engineered Coatings
Protects against corrosion and wear, improves part life and reduces maintenance costs - Protective Mouldings (Peenflex)
Damage and abrasion resistant mouldings - Architectural Finishes (Peentex)
Decorative textured finish applied by controlled shot peening - On-site Processing
Cost effective for large components and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul)
