Metal Alloys for Casting, Forging and Extrusion
Casting Metals
- Aluminum Alloys: Aluminum is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, and can be used for both structural and decorative purposes
- Cast Iron Alloys: Strong, durable, and inexpensive, cast iron is ideal for thick-wall parts like those for valves and pumps
- Copper Alloys (Copper, Brasses & Bronzes): Copper and copper alloys have excellent anti-microbial properties and are cost-effective, low maintenance, and easily machinable
- Nickel Alloys: Commonly used in architectural applications (stainless and nickel silver), nickel and its alloys provide a balance of durability, strength, and aesthetics
- Stainless Alloys: Stainless steel provides high strength and excellent natural corrosion resistance, making it ideal for a broad range of applications
- Steel Alloys: For household goods and much more, steel is a durable and cost-effective option for metal parts for all applications
- Zinc Alloys: Durable, versatile, and heavy, zinc alloys are an ideal choice for cast parts; plated cast parts are a popular substitute for more costly brass
Forging Metals
- Aluminum Alloys: We work with all standard and specialty aluminum alloys, and can help you determine which alloy is best for your parts
- Copper Alloys (Copper, Brasses & Bronzes): Copper/copper alloys offer good strength and ductility, and can be polished, plated, or patinated to attain a beautiful finish
- Stainless Alloys: Stainless steel is a very versatile material, commonly used in everything from industrial pumps to jewelry
- Steel Alloys: We can forge steel parts and components in all shapes, sizes, and configurations to meet your unique requirements
Extrusion Metals
- Copper Alloys (Coppers, Brasses & Architectural Bronzes): Copper and its alloys are commonly used in architecture thanks to the attractive finishes attainable, provide excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and are easily fabricated and welded
- Stainless Alloys: Durable enough for mining equipment, but stylish enough for decorative architectural work, stainless steel is popular in countless applications
- Steel Alloys: A variety of steel alloys are available, each with different performance characteristics—our experts will help you find the one you need
