Houston's machining market is driven by oil and gas, petrochemical, and aerospace. Shops here machine exotic alloys — Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, duplex stainless — that most shops in other markets rarely touch. NASA's Johnson Space Center and the Port of Houston create additional demand for precision components.
EDM Capabilities
D2, A2, S7, M2, H13 tool steels. Tungsten carbide. Inconel 625/718. Ti-6Al-4V. 17-4PH, 316L stainless. Beryllium copper. Any conductive material, any hardness.
±0.001" standard (2-pass). ±0.0002" precision (4-pass). ±0.0001" on critical features with temperature-controlled DI water.
Ra 8–20 µin (4-pass standard). Ra 4–8 µin on 6+ pass cycles. Mirror finish for mold shutoffs and gauge work.
Wire EDM (through-cut profiles), sinker EDM (3D cavities), and small-hole EDM (start holes and cooling channels). Auto-threading for unattended operation.
Industries in Houston
Oil and gas equipment manufacturers, petrochemical valve and fitting producers, aerospace subcontractors, and energy sector OEMs.
How It Works
Submit your project through the Axhera Network — upload a drawing or describe the work. The network matches you with verified shops in the Houston area that have the right machines, the right experience, and open capacity. You get quotes directly from the shop doing the work, not through a markup layer.
