Hardened steels, typically with a Rockwell C hardness above 45, offer exceptional wear resistance and strength. However, their very properties make them notoriously difficult to machine. Conventional tools fail quickly, and excessive heat can compromise the material's integrity. Our solution involves stateoftheart CNC equipment with rigid structures, highpressure coolant systems, and the strategic use of advanced tooling like CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) and PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) inserts. This allows us to achieve precise tolerances and superior surface finishes on components like molds, gears, and bearing races without the need for secondary grinding.

Simultaneously, the demand for exotic alloys—such as titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and tungsten carbide—continues to grow. These materials excel in harsh environments due to their high strengthtoweight ratios and exceptional resistance to heat and corrosion. Their low thermal conductivity and tendency to workharden, however, pose significant machining challenges. Our technicians possess the deep material science knowledge required to select optimal speeds, feeds, and cutting paths. We employ techniques like trochoidal milling and highspeed machining to manage cutting forces and heat, ensuring part integrity and extending tool life.

Partnering with us for your hardened steel and exotic alloy projects means more than just accessing advanced machinery.
