Metallurgy
You Can Measure.
Precision batch heat treatment for Tier 1 automotive suppliers — carburizing, vacuum hardening, and low-pressure carburizing with AI-monitored adaptive profiles. Every cycle documented. Every result traceable.
Three Decades of
Compounding Expertise
Each era added a capability layer that the next era built upon. Click any decade to expand the full technical record — processes, certifications, and customer approvals.
Integrated ML-based process control that reads thermocouple arrays, carbon sensors, and quench bath telemetry in real time. Adaptive profiles compensate for load density, ambient conditions, and alloy batch variation — holding ±2°C uniformity at scale.
