DATA-DRIVEN SURFACE ENHANCEMENT

Surface Enhancement is a key process stage for improving the functionality, performance, and longevity of a component.
Activities encompass a wide range of industrialized mechanical surface enhancement technologies focusing on metal surface finishing and fatigue enhancement processes.
With comprehensive capability in mechanical & microstructural characterization, residual stress analysis and fatigue evaluation, we aim to provide complete surface enhancement solutions for various industry applications.
