At Freeway Corporation, we understand that the manufacturing process doesn’t end with the initial stamping. That’s why we offer a full range of secondary processing services to ensure every part meets your exact performance and aesthetic requirements. From heat treating and annealing to plating, coating, deburring, grinding, welding, and bending, we provide a comprehensive suite of services — streamlining production, reducing lead times, and enhancing part quality.
Our state-of-the-art equipment and skilled team allow us to offer tailored solutions that improve the functionality and appearance of your parts. Whether it’s strengthening a component through heat treating, improving surface finish with coatings, or ensuring precision with deburring and grinding, Freeway’s secondary processes are designed to optimize part performance. By integrating these services into our production flow, we deliver high-quality, ready-to-use parts that meet your specific needs, all while maintaining cost-effectiveness and on-time delivery.
Heat Treating
Heat treating alters the physical and mechanical properties of metal to enhance hardness, strength, or ductility. It’s commonly used to improve wear resistance and durability in demanding applications.
Annealing
Annealing is a heat process that softens metal, relieves internal stresses, and improves machinability or formability. It’s ideal for preparing stamped parts for further processing or reshaping.
Plating
Plating applies a thin metal coating (such as zinc, nickel, or chrome) to the surface of a part to improve corrosion resistance, appearance, or electrical conductivity.
Coating
Protective coatings — including paint, powder coating, or specialty finishes — are used to enhance surface durability, resist environmental wear, or meet aesthetic requirements.
Deburring
Deburring removes sharp edges, burrs, and excess material left from the stamping process to ensure safe handling, improve part fit, and meet precise dimensional specs.
Grinding
Grinding is used to achieve tight thickness tolerances, improve surface finish, or refine the flatness of stamped components, especially in critical-load applications.
Welding
Welding joins metal components together to create sub-assemblies or reinforce structural integrity, allowing for added functionality beyond a single stamped part.
Bending
Bending introduces angles or curves into flat metal parts for more complex geometries, enabling components to fit within unique assemblies or mechanical systems.
