​This component started as Nitronic 60 and was precision-machined into a high-performance hydraulic manifold built for demanding applications where strength, machinability, and reliability matter.
Nitronic 60 is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and clean machinability, making it an ideal choice for complex hydraulic manifolds that require tight tolerances, intricate porting, and consistent surface finishes.
​
What went into this part:
• Precision CNC milling for complex internal passages
• Tight tolerance control for hydraulic performance
• Material selection focused on durability and efficiency
• Machining strategies optimized for repeatability and flow integrity
This is a great example of how material knowledge + machining expertise come together to turn raw stock into a critical system component. When the application demands reliability under pressure, every detail matters—from alloy choice to final inspection.
At HM Manufacturing, this is the kind of work we do every day: turning challenging materials into mission-ready components.

There are drilled and counterbored holes for bolts and another 8 drilled and tapped holes for mounting along with a customized arc. To produce this piece we utilized our CNC milling, CNC turning and grinding capabilities. For all projects, simple or intricate, HM manufacturing will develop a solution to your specifications. ​

For this project, we used our CNC turning and CNC milling capabilities. We proudly offer expedited and standard lead times from prototype to production, on orders simple or complex. ​

This ratchet has been produced with our 5-axis milling capabilities, CNC turning and CNC grinding and was later sent out for case hardening. At HM, we proudly offer standard and expedited lead times for your custom parts, from prototype to production. ​
