What we do

Virtually every type of metal component, whatever its application, requires some form of treatment to enable it to perform to the necessary standard and last longer once it’s put into service.

Our metallurgical treatments improve the properties of metals and alloys, enabling our customers’ products to perform optimally in both critical and everyday applications that enable modern life.

Precision Heat Treatment

An expansive portfolio of vital heat treatment services and low-carbon technologies which enable components to excel in any environment, for longer. We process a wide variety of component sizes to exacting standards with reliable, repeatable quality output from one-offs to volume production, with consistent delivery that ensures near-zero scrap rates.

Surface Technology

Our range of surface coatings, including ceramics and metallics, enhance component life and provide ultimate protection from wear and corrosion. Combined with sealing solutions, precision finishing and in-house laboratories, Bodycote provides a full turnkey coatings service.

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)

HIP improves component integrity and strength by application of extreme pressure and heat to fully remove porosity in materials. Bodycote operates the largest HIP network in the world and is able to accommodate large volumes of small product as economically as large individual components.

Powdermet®

Bodycote has decades of experience creating complex, high integrity components from powdered metal. Bodycote Powdermet® technologies are a group of manufacturing processes used in the production of complex components using powder metallurgy.

S³P

S³P (Specialty Stainless Steel Processes) is a propriety group of Bodycote processes which improve the strength, hardness and wear resistance of stainless steels without affecting their corrosion resistance.

Metal Joining

Bodycote has a wealth of experience in delivering value-adding and innovative metal joining techniques such as Electron Beam Welding, HIP diffusion bonding and various methods of brazing for safety critical components.
