QUALITY MEANS TO US
Certified quality
The certification of Micron and Durox's quality management systems is only the starting point for us to offer a service of excellence. Micron and Durox's quality management systems are ISO 9001 certified. Micron has also achieved IATF 16949 certification to serve the automotive sector.State-of-the-art facilities
Every year we make substantial investments to update our production facilities, machinery and internal company systems. This makes it possible to guarantee high quality standards, fast treatment turnaround, even for high volumes, safe workplaces for people and respect for the environment.Customer service
We understand that the service we supply extends far beyond the treatment process. We therefore seek to develop a relationship as both a supplier and partner. Thanks to our experience and a state-of-the-art R&D laboratory, we support the customer throughout the design process, from the base material to the choice of the most suitable surface treatment.Specialization and know-how
Our choice has always been to specialize in technical surface treatments applied to precision mechanics, particularly in electroless nickel plating and anodizing. Our treatment processes have all been designed, developed, and constantly refined in-house, and they are the core of the company's know-how. This focus has allowed us to supply state-of-the-art surface treatments that meet and exceed customer requirements.
GOALS

IATF 16949
The main target sector for the products we treat is the automotive industry, which is characterized by the highest quality standards. Thanks to the experience gained and the knowledge acquired, the Micron Durox Group has developed the structure, processes and quality in order to meet the requirements necessary to compete in that sector. We are suppliers (Tier 2 and Tier 3) for the most important Italian and European companies in the Automotive sector, which rely on us for our quality, experience and professionalism.
Micron has also achieved the important milestone of IATF 16949:2016 certification, the standard governing quality management systems for the automotive industry.
Technical support and co-design
Extensive knowledge of the sector and our long experience allow us to work alongside the customer throughout the design stage to help identify the best surface treatment for the specific application:

Analysis, research, and development laboratory
With the primary objective of creating customer satisfaction and premium quality coatings, the Micron-Durox group has invested heavily in a sophisticated laboratory in which complex and thorough surface coating analysis activities can be carried out. Quality control and validation tests are carried out on parts produced, plus R&D activities for the development and optimization of coatings. We work actively with the customer, performing analyses and tests on their components, and analyzing any failures, investigating materials, processes, and treatments to find the most suitable solution to each requirement.
The available analyses and tests are:
- Coating thickness measurement by microscopic method | ISO 1463
- Coating thickness measurement with eddy current method | ISO 2360
- Vickers micro-hardness tests | ISO 4516
- Surface roughness measurement | ISO 4288
- Adhesion analysis | ISO 2819
- Salt spray corrosion resistance test | ISO 9227 - ISO 10289 - ASTM B117
- Taber Abraser wear resistance measurement | ISO 10074 B.3
- Coating porosity analysis | ASTM B733 - FERROXYL TEST
- Determination of phosphorus content by means of EDS spectroscopy
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis
