Materials
A part is only as honest as its material.
Every billet, bar and sheet on our floor arrives with a certificate, gets verified at goods-in, and is logged by heat number — so the material behind your part is a fact on record, not an assumption.
Range
What we cut, form and weld
The families below cover the vast majority of precision component work across the nine industries we serve. Each is machined with feeds, speeds, tooling and fixturing proven for that family — titanium is not aluminium with different numbers.
Need something outside this list — an exotic alloy, a specific temper, a certified batch? We source it through vetted mills and stockists, certificates in hand, before we quote.
| Aluminium alloys | 6061, 6082, 7075, 2024 — airframe & general precision work |
|---|---|
| Stainless steels | 303, 304, 316, 17-4 PH — corrosion-critical & hygienic parts |
| Alloy & carbon steels | EN8, EN19, EN24, 4140, mild steel — shafts, structures, tooling |
| Titanium | Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) — aerospace & weight-critical parts |
| Copper alloys & brass | Electrical, thermal & wear applications |
| Engineering plastics | Delrin/POM, nylon, PTFE, PEEK — insulators, wear parts, fixtures |
Traceability
From mill certificate to dispatch note
Certified at source
Material is bought against specification with mill or stockist certificates — grade, temper and batch identified before purchase.
Verified at goods-in
Certificates checked against the order, heat numbers logged, material marked and quarantined until it passes the incoming gate.
Traceable for life
The heat number travels with the job through every operation. Ask us in five years which billet your part came from — we can answer.
Material certificates ship with your parts on request, alongside inspection reports — see measurement capabilities.
Material question?
Not sure what your part should be made of?
Send the application, not just the drawing. We'll recommend the family, the grade and the finish that survive it.
