Metals
Aluminum is a lightweight and durable material that is extensively used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical. It is renowned for its versatility and precision in manufacturing parts that meet the required specifications. Owing to its toughness and longevity, various industries employ aluminum in critical components.
Brass is a popular material used in manufacturing and machining processes due to its exceptional mechanical properties, which include high tensile strength, good conductivity, and corrosion resistance. It finds applications in several areas, such as producing high-precision parts and components for the aerospace and automotive industries or creating decorative and ornamental objects like figurines or sculptures.
Bronze is a type of metal that is resistant to corrosion. It is commonly used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and medical. Machined bronze is used to create valve components, bearing housings, bushings, and gears. Our skilled machinists use precision equipment and techniques to shape the material according to specific design requirements. Bronze is a versatile metal that is easy to work with and is available in different shapes and sizes.
Cold-rolled steel is a type of steel that undergoes a process of rolling at room temperature through rollers. This process compresses and thins the steel, resulting in a smoother finish than hot-rolled steel. This smoother finish makes it easier to work with the steel. Due to its strength and flexibility, manufacturers use cold-rolled steel in precision components, automotive parts, and construction equipment. The cold-rolling process ensures that steel products have consistent thickness and improved surface quality.
Copper that has been machined is a metal that is known for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, its resistance to corrosion, and its antimicrobial properties. This makes it a popular choice for industrial applications. Copper can be polished, coated, or plated to improve its functionality and appearance. It is used in various industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, and medical, due to its unique properties and durability.
Inconel is a type of high-strength superalloy made mainly of nickel, chromium, and iron. Because of its unique properties, it is widely used in various industries, such as aerospace, medical equipment, and chemical processing. The material is available in different grades tailored to specific applications and environments. However, machining Inconel can be challenging. It is often used in high-end applications like aircraft engines, gas turbine components, nuclear reactors, medical implants, and surgical instruments because of its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel is a popular material in manufacturing due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Machined stainless steel refers to stainless steel that has undergone a machining process. However, machining stainless steel can be challenging due to its hardness and rigid properties. The aerospace, automotive, and medical industries commonly use stainless steel grades 304, 316, and 420.
