Materials We Work With

When it comes to working with diverse materials, we strive for quality. In working hard to deliver the best possible finished components and parts for your products, we’ve become masters in working with several different materials and alloys, including:

Aluminum

Formed, with excellent workability, aluminum is a go-to material for intricate formed parts and components. Easily milled and machined, aluminum is our primary focus.

2024

One of the best-known aluminum alloys, this material is marked by high strength and resistance to fatigue. Its strength-to-weight ratio is exceptional and the material boast high corrosion resistance. It’s the alloy of choice for aircraft-grade components and transportation industry parts.

6061

The most versatile aluminum alloy we work with, it offers all of the great properties of aluminum alongside high corrosion resistance and good ​machinability​. This alloy can be used in just about any aluminum application, including throughout the transportation industry.

7075

The highest-strength aluminum alloy available, it boasts the best strength to weight ratio, making it perfect for use in high-stressed parts and rigorous applications. It represents a premium option for aluminum.

Exotic Materials

Materials with high alloy content, known as super alloys or exotic alloys, offer enhanced performance properties including excellent strength and durability, and resistance to oxidation, corrosion and deforming at high temperatures or under extreme pressure.

Titanium

Titanium is recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio. There are many grades of titanium many of which have ultimate tensile strength equal to that of some steel, but at much less weight or density. Titanium is 60% denser than aluminum, but more than twice as strong. See our blog for more details on Titanium

Nitronic 60

Nitronic 60 is an all-purpose stainless steel alloy fortified with silicon and manganese to provide these key benefits: High Corrosion resistance and Minimal Wearing, galling, and fretting. See our blog for more details on Nitronic 60

Inconel

Known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and high temperatures as well as its superior pressure tolerance, Inconel is an ideal material for aerospace machining. See our blog for more info on inconel

Monel

Monel is a group of superalloys with many of the same properties as Inconel. Both have a high nickel content, but while Inconel’s secondary alloyant is chromium, Monel’s is copper. Other substances such as manganese, carbon, iron, and silicon are also present in Monel.

This material is known for maintaining exceptional corrosion resistance due to its high copper content—even when fully submerged in salt water. It’s ideal for submarines and other marine applications. See our blog for more info on monel

Alloy Steels

We can work extensively with alloy steels to produce shafting, automotive parts, tool joints, fasteners and much more.

4140/42/45/50

Oil-hardened steels with uniform hardness and strength, these alloys are apt for forging thanks to their self-scaling characteristic. This alloy is useful for bolts, couplings, shafts, chain links and much, much more.

4130

Chromium-Molybdenum steel offers great versatility and hardness penetration, resulting in good mechanical properties for the likes of shafting, axles, gears, sprockets, fasteners and much more.

4140

Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum steel is the standard for constructional alloy steels, boasting deep hardenability, extreme toughness and great ductility. Its non-distorting nature is optimal for crank shafts, gears and numerous other auto and marine parts.

Cold Finish Carbon Bars & Cold Rolled Strip

Ideal for applications where dimensional accuracy and stiffness are essential, we’re able to provide required machining and finishing services.

1018

Low carbon steel with a high manganese content, this alloy produces a harder, more uniform case. For parts requiring cold forming, there is no better option. It’s also an essential alloy for applications requiring a soft core, yet high surface hardness

1117

Another low-carbon, high-manganese steel, this alloy is known for its great mechanical properties and carburizing ability. Used in screw machines and for applications requiring close tolerances, it’s also the choice for soft core, high strength surface applications—including gears, pinions and ratchets.

1141

A medium-carbon alloy that boast higher mechanical properties and better free machining capabilities. It’s generally processed in screw machines and are optimal for studs, bolts, pins and other applications requiring precision machining to close tolerances.
