Surface hardening for maximum load capacity & service life

Heat treatment is the decisive step for making parts more resistant to wear, deformation, and fatigue. Whether single parts or series, WF Mechanik selectively hardens functional surfaces, edges, and contact zonesmaintaining overall toughness. We harden components exactly where durability matters, using tightly controlled processes up to 1,200 °C.

Material-appropriate hardening—targeted and documented

Depending on material and requirement, we apply:

  • Case hardening for wear-resistant surfaces with tough cores.
  • Carbonitriding for uniform hardening of thin-walled or complex parts.
  • Plasma (ion) nitriding for low-distortion, precisely hardened surfaces.
  • Induction hardening for shafts, gears, or local functional areas.
  • Vacuum hardening for complex geometries and mainly high-alloy, air-sensitive steels.
  • Protective-gas hardening (bright hardening) for uniform results without surface oxidation.

 

All processes are controlled, lab-tested, and—on request—documented to international standards.

Anodizing aluminum – function meets finish

As a complement for aluminum parts we offer anodizing. This electrochemical finish protects against corrosion, improves wear resistance, and delivers a uniform, premium appearance—both technical and aesthetic. 

 

Prior satin finishing produces a matte, low-glare, high-quality surface.

Contract manufacturing with added value and precision

All our manufacturing methods are part of an integrated contract manufacturing offer.
WF Mechanik customers benefit from short response times, high flexibility, and the ability to calculate, configure, and order sheet metal parts online.
Both products and services come directly from us — everything from a single source.

Process reliability & documentation – certified to iso 9001

All components are tested using ISO 9001-certified measurement processes, ensuring dimensional accuracy and process stability — especially for safety-critical or assembly-relevant components in mechanical engineering, medical technology, and plant construction.
