Liquid Nitriding

Liquid nitriding is a subcritical surface enhancement process with one of the longest track records of success of any case hardening technology.

PVD Coatings

PVD coatings involve the deposition of thin (2-10 microns; 0.0001" – 0.0004") films on the surface of tools and components.

Engineered Bushings

HEF bushings are recognized worldwide for their excellent frictional and anti-seizure properties, and ability to withstand high loads.
