  • Roughness verification
  • Hardness verification
  • Surface condition verification
  • Optical inspection
  • Inspection reports
  • Measurements
  • 100% control
  • PPAP/FAI
  • Cp/Cpk statistic

Turning materials for the defence industry

Turned part treatment

Special treatments can be applied to parts to give them the desired finish. We have listed suppliers for specific treatments, including:
  • Surface treatment: passivation, burnishing, phosphate conversion coating, anodizing, galvanization, copper plating
  • Thermal treatment: annealing / quenching and tempering / nitriding
  • Painting : e-coating / liquid / epoxy
We offer a wide range of surface treatments for all types of material.
