Metallizing Services

Metallizing Services At our fully equipped metallizing plant, we offer general-purpose repair as well as maintenance services to customers in any industry with a moving part. Some of these industries include aerospace, automotive, chemical, electrical, mining, printing, food manufacturing and processing, and machine rebuild. Industrial Grinding enhances heat and wear resistance of machine parts with both plasma arc and low-heat thermal flame spraying.

We use a wide range of wire and powder coatings, including 300/400 series stainless, nickel, chromium carbides, and non-ferrous materials for distinct metallizing applications. Our complete line of metallizing machines includes plasma systems, powder spray units, and a blaster unit. These thermal and plasma spraying units enable us to repair worn and damaged diameters on shafts, pistons, gears and rolls. We also repair mold plates, large pipe fittings, lathe beds, and other flat surfaces. Often, repairs made with plasma and thermal spray make a part better than when it was new.

Metallizing Services Our staff is experienced in metallizing components up to 150" in length, 50" in width, and 6' in height. Industrial Grinding also handles cylindrical parts with diameters up to 40". Through R&D and experimentation, we continuously improve our capabilities to meet your specific requirements. Custom machine parts can also be serviced through our secondary processes such as rough grinding, spraying, and finish grinding.
