High Performance

The automotive industry demands cost effective, high performance materials capable of withstanding high and variable loads.

Most metals and materials used by the automotive industry, whether for engine, suspension or transmission products, use key surface treatments to meet critical material performance targets, which has particular relevance to the motorsport industry.

We also provide solutions for the off road and earth moving equipment industries.

Protection from material failures

MIC’s metal and material surface treatments can extend the performance characteristics by protecting the surface from operating damage and cyclic loads.

These treatments have undergone laboratory and field testing to ensure reliability in extreme conditions to deal with the following failure modes:

• Fatigue 
• Galling 
• Fretting 
• Stress corrosion cracking
• Corrosion 
• Wear 

Applications

• Transmission - gears, shafts, circlips and gear box housings
• Engine - crankshafts, connecting rods, valves, pistons, piston rings, fasteners, cam shafts, cylinder heads and blocks
• Suspension - compression, tension and leaf springs and uprights
