Outside Process Management Services | Seamless Secondary Operations
Shamrock Precision manages multiple outside processing services that most manufacturers struggle to coordinate themselves. We can handle all your heat treating, plating, coating, and other secondary operations. Our expert team handles the entire process so your parts get finished right.
Coordinating secondary operations wastes time and creates quality risks. Parts get lost between vendors, specifications get misunderstood, and delivery schedules slip.
- Heat treating coordination with certified aerospace and commercial vendors
- Plating and coating management for corrosion resistance and wear protection
- Quality verification before and after all secondary operations
- Single point contact for complete project coordination
- Approved vendor network built over 40 years
Why Outside Process Management Saves Time and Money
Managing secondary operations yourself means dealing with multiple vendors, tracking parts through different facilities, and verifying quality at each step. Most manufacturers lack the volume to get priority treatment from specialty processors.
We consolidate everything through our established vendor network. Your parts stay tracked through our system.
- Established relationships with certified heat treat and plating vendors
- Priority scheduling gets your parts processed faster
- Single invoice covers machining and all secondary operations
- Quality verification happens before parts ship to you
- Problem resolution through our technical team
Secondary Operations We Coordinate
Our approved vendor network covers every secondary operation precision components require. Each of our vendors are rigorously audited regularly for quality systems and capability. We only work with processors meeting aerospace and medical industry standards.
Heat Treating Services:
- Stress relieving for dimensional stability after machining
- Hardening and tempering for wear resistance and strength
- Carburizing and nitriding for surface hardness
- Annealing for improved machinability
- Cryogenic treating for tool steel applications
Surface Finishing Operations:
- Electroless nickel plating for corrosion protection
- Hard chrome plating for wear surfaces
- Passivation for stainless steel components
- Black oxide coating for steel parts
- Anodizing for aluminum components
Specialty Coatings:
- Teflon and PTFE coatings for low friction applications
- Powder coating for decorative and protective finishes
- Zinc plating for fasteners and hardware
How We Actually Handle Outside Processing Projects
Every project we start begins with understanding your complete requirements. We carefully and meticulously review specifications for both machining and secondary operations during initial meetings. Our system tracks parts through each operation with status updates.
- We figure out what secondary work your parts need right from the start
- Pick the right vendors based on what each part actually requires
- Parts go straight from us to processors without extra handling
- We check everything when parts come back before shipping to you
- Full paperwork includes certs from every vendor who touched your parts
- Need it fast? We can push rush jobs through when deadlines hit
Materials and Applications We Support
Secondary operations change how materials perform. Heat treating transforms soft steel into hardened components and critical plating protects parts in corrosive environments. Selecting the right processes demands understanding of both materials and applications.
We carefully coordinate secondary operations for parts across multiple industries. Oil and gas components like our shear screws need precise heat treating to control failure points. Aerospace parts require certified processing with complete documentation.
- Steel components requiring hardening from 35 to 65 Rockwell C
- Stainless steel parts needing passivation for corrosion resistance
- Aluminum components requiring anodizing in multiple colors
- Titanium parts needing stress relief without distortion
- Exotic alloys like Inconel requiring specialized heat treat cycles
Our Approved Vendor Network
Building reliable processor relationships takes years. We've worked with our core vendors for decades and trust them explicitly. They fully understand our quality requirements and demands. And, they never fail us.
- Nadcap certified aerospace processors for critical applications
- ISO certified commercial facilities for standard operations
- Rush processing capabilities when schedules get tight
- Backup vendors for redundancy on critical projects
- Regular audits verify quality systems and process controls
Quality Control Through Every Step
Quality verification is a critical component to this process and happens before and after all secondary operations. In order to maintain this unparalleled level of quality precision, all your parts are carefully inspected before shipping occurs.
- Pre-processing inspection confirms and guarantees machining quality
- Hardness testing records and verifies heat treat results
- Coating thickness measurement with certified instruments
- Careful visual inspection for defects, discoloration, or damage
- Thorough documentation review confirms certifications match specifications
Why Shamrock Precision Manages Processes Better
We've coordinated thousands of secondary operations with our trusted vendors. Our specialized team simply knows which vendors handle different materials and processes best. Meaning, you deal with us only, not multiple vendors. We act as a one stop shop for all your machining and inspection needs.
- Over 40 years building and maintaining vendor relationships
- Technical expertise matching processes to applications
- Single invoice covering machining and all secondary operations
- Priority processing through established vendor partnerships
- Complete traceability from raw material through final finishing
Outside process management through Shamrock Precision eliminates coordination headaches and quality risks. Your parts get finished right, on time.
