LevelingAt United Performance Metals, our custom built line has two leveling heads to provide versatility in both light gauge and heavier gauge products. Flat and even surfaces are ensured through our in-house leveling capabilities.…
EdgingIn many cases, slit metal strips of steel will require edge conditioning before moving on to the next step of the production process. The metal strips are rolled to smooth the edges and remove burs. Our in-house edging…
Heat TreatingHeat treating is the process of heating, holding and then cooling certain metals to improve their structural and physical properties. This changes the internal structure of the metal and may cause the material to become harder…
DeburringBurrs can often result from the blanking process. Whether the burr occurred after a mechanical or a thermal process, the parts you need may necessitate burr-free materials. Deburring refers to the process of smoothing the rough…
BoringThe Boring process is used to enlarge a hole that has been previously drilled out. Also called internal turning, the boring process improves the accuracy the holes' diameter tolerances.
Precision Strip RerollingOur precision strip rerolling process produces rolled strip with extremely tight tolerance. Stainless steel repeatedly passes through our Sendzimir cold reversing mill to achieve measurable gauge reduction. The result is ultra…
TrepanningTrepanning is a deep hole drilling process. It is typically used on larger diameter bars. The drilling process leaves a core. The solid core may then be used on other orders. The most basic trepanning process…
GrindingGrinding includes several different processes to achieve precise dimensions and specifications by removing small amounts of material from a metal part surface. Specialized equipment and tooling, such as calipers, micrometers, and…
