When required our protective coatings can be machined to produce the design geometry of the part with super finishing techniques allowing for surface finishes as low as 4µInch Ra.

A range of machines are used to grind the outside diameters of large turbine shafts, internal diameters for bearing housings, flat surfaces such as gate valves and spherical grinding for ball valve components.

Diamond Grinding of Tungsten Carbide is a speciality and Hycrome have the ability to HVOF coat and grind ball valves up to 36” diameter bore in house.
