It consists of highly sophisticated heat treatment, surface treatment and metal joining processes like Vacuum Heat Treatment, Carburizing, Nitriding, Hot & Cold Wall Plasma Nitriding, Carbonitriding, Brazing, Cladding etc. Each of these processes has its own significance & characteristic output which alters properties of material and thereby improves life and performance of the product undergoing the particular process.

Specialized surface treatment processes such as Carburizing, Plasma Nitriding, Carbonitriding find varied applications and are used for products such as high precision gears required for Transmission and Aerospace applications, crankshafts, camshafts, cam followers, valve parts, extruder screws, pressure-die-casting tools, forging dies, cold forming tools, engine parts etc., for improving surface properties and life of these components significantly.

Specialized furnace brazing allows joining of simple or complex designs of one joint or multi-joint assemblies. Vacuum brazing offers the flexibility to join a wide range of metals such as nickel based alloys, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels. Other non-ferrous materials like aluminium, titanium and copper can also be brazed. Vacuum furnace brazing has a wide usage in Aerospace, Industrial gas turbine, Medical, Automotive, Space, Electronics, Nuclear, Offshore &Petrochemical applications.
