Metal Improvement Company (MIC) I Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies

Founded as part of Curtiss‑Wright’s worldwide network of surface‑treatment facilities, Metal Improvement Company (MIC) I Curtiss‑Wright Surface Technologies brings extensive engineering resources to metal‑finishing projects throughout the United States. Based at 9410 E Hardy Rd #6629, Houston, TX 77093, the company specializes in high‑performance surface‑treatment processes that protect components from fatigue, corrosion, wear, galling and thermal stress.

MIC’s service portfolio includes shot peening, which creates a compressive‑stress layer to improve fatigue resistance and durability, and laser peening, a more advanced technique that induces stresses up to five‑to‑ten times deeper than conventional methods. The firm also offers peen forming and laser peen forming for shaping aerodynamic curvatures on aircraft wing skins and other complex parts.

Clients in commercial aerospace, defense, power generation, oil and gas, ground transportation, and general industrial markets rely on MIC to treat original‑equipment‑manufacturer (OEM) parts, often as part of proprietary production processes. By applying these engineered surface technologies, the company helps extend component life and enhance performance in harsh operating environments.

With a global footprint and a focus on precise, engineered solutions, Metal Improvement Company provides metal‑finishing and processing expertise that supports demanding applications across a broad range of industries.
