Our Aluminum Machining Services

From precision turning to integrated coating, we offer a full suite of aluminum part manufacturing services tailored to your specifications.

Machining Capabilities

Comprehensive aluminum machining for large parts up to 68 inches in diameter. We deliver custom-manufactured components with advanced tooling, integrated coating processes, and rigorous quality control for dimensional accuracy.

Close Tolerance Machining

Advanced machining services producing aluminum parts to tight dimensional tolerances for specialized industrial equipment. Ideal for applications where precision fit, surface finish, and repeatability are non-negotiable.

Product Manufacturing

End-to-end aluminum product manufacturing from prototyping through full production. We collaborate closely with clients to streamline each production stage, ensuring parts meet exact specifications with consistent quality.

Welding Capabilities

Full-spectrum welding services including MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-cored arc welding for aluminum and specialty materials. Skilled welders meet or exceed industry standards for structural integrity on every joint.

Heat Treatment

Tailored thermal processing including annealing, stress relieving, hardening, and quenching to optimize mechanical properties of aluminum components. Precision temperature control ensures consistent metallurgical outcomes.

Aluminizing (Calorizing)

Aluminum diffusion coating applied to machined components for superior high-temperature corrosion resistance. A cost-effective method to extend service life for parts in petrochemical, aerospace, and heat exchanger applications.
