– Quality Inspection & Material Traceability
We provide full material traceability certificates for everything. Every batch undergoes rigorous dimensional verification processes. We issue EN 10204 3.1 material certificates.
Technical Note: Precision machining requires strict thermal stability. Machine tools must maintain consistent ambient temperatures. This prevents thermal expansion from affecting tight tolerances.
Surface Finishing Options
– Polishing
Mechanical polishing creates smooth and reflective surfaces quickly. This process removes microscopic machining marks effectively. We use progressively finer abrasive compounds.
– Passivation
Passivation removes free iron from the machined surface. It maximizes the natural corrosion resistance properties. We use nitric or citric acid baths.
