At Priority Metals we are capable of cutting per any customer requirement regardless of size or material grade. Such types of cutting include: precision saw, shearing, slitting, laser, plasma, and water-jet cutting.
 Heat Treating
Heat treating is a treatment process to modify the properties of metals and metal alloys. Such common processes include annealing, austempering, case hardening, conventional hardening, homogenizing, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), martempering, normalizing, precipitation hardening, shot peening, solution treating, spheroidizing, stabilizing, and stress relieving.
 Gun Drilling
Gundrilling is a highly flexible, efficient and quick method of producing deep or shallow close-tolerance holes with smooth surface finishes-usually in one pass. This often eliminates the need for reaming, honing, or other finishing operations.
 Trepanning
Trepanning is a method of producing large deep holes economically from solid. The process can also be used for boring tubing where heavy stock removal is needed. A specially designed hollow tool cuts a narrow circular path in the work piece and leaves a solid core. Because all the material is not being removed, the rate of penetration by trepanning is much faster than other methods.
Chem-Milling
Chemical milling is a process for the removal of metal by chemical action and is ideally suited for production of flat, relatively thin parts of unlimited configurations, and for other jobs requiring area, point or line removal of metal. Quality is consistent with no effect on temper or hardness. This process does not introduce edge stresses, dimensional changes and produces burr-free parts.
 Grinding
We realize some materials require odd or non-standard sizes that require grinding. Priority Metals offers:
Centerless Grinding is a technique for machining parts having a circular cross section consisting of grinding the rod, which is fed without mounting it on centers. Grinding is accomplished by working the material between wheels, which rotate at different speeds, the faster wheel being the abrasive wheel.
 Blanchard Grinding - is a technique accomplished through rotary work motions, with the worktable rotating counterclockwise and the abrasive wheel rotating clockwise. All work pieces being ground receive the same treatment resulting in uniform size and surface finish.
Material Testing
For specialized certification requirements, Priority Metals offers independent testing, either destructive or non destructive. Chemical or metallurgical analysis, mechanical testing, visual inspection, magnetic particle inspection, and ultrasonic inspection are all offered.
