Electropolishing

page_elec_polish Electropolishing utilizes electrical current and chemicals in an electrolytic bath to remove burrs and produce a high luster finish. This process provides a stress-free polishing method that preserves the surface finish, improves the fatigue life of the part, removes contaminants, passivates, and creates a surface that retards corrosion.

Mechanical Polishing

Mechanical polishing is the mechanical smoothing and removal of contaminates. page_mech_polish

This process is used to smooth welds, prepare metal surfaces for electropolishing, or provide a surface with a specified roughness. IMC can provide mechanical polishing on parts 36" wide and up to 20 ft long.

Mechanical polishing and buffing involves placing shapes on a computer controlled sliding bed, where the parts are automatically conveyed under a buffing wheel that is programmed for optimal speed and strokes to complete the required polishing. Virtually any metal can be polished to a high luster finish using this method.

Precision Sawing

Precision sawing of aluminum is required in many markets such as Building and Construction, Automotive, Truck Trailer, Aerospace, Ordinance/Military, and most forging operations. IMC works closely with our customers to ensure lead times are met and stocking programs are kept replenished. IMC can supply your aluminum needs with a machined finsished product if needed.

At IMC, we specialize in providing solutions to extruders and to original equipment manufacturers and ensuring the delivery of a precision cut part in an on time method, and at the most competitive price.

IMC can cut parts up to 16" in diameter and as small as .250". Our cutting tolerances can be held to as tight as .003" (depending on part design).

Chamfering

Chamfering is used primarily in the forging markets. Putting a chamfer on the ends of the forged rod can prevent stress cracks during the forging process. IMC can chamfer rods from 2"- 8" in diameter. Our standard chamfer radius is .500, but can be adjusted as needed. Larger parts chamfering is performed manually with a grinding disc on a rotating turning center.
