Copper
Excellent heat and electricity conductor/ Suitable for electrical wiring, motors, construction and industry machining
Iron
Longer lasting/ Fewer discontinuities and defects/ Ideal material for machining pistons, housings, bearings, rings, and other parts.
Nickel
Temperature and corrosion resistance/ Rapid hardness/ High sheer strength
Stainless Steel
Scratch-proof/ Water, rust and corrosion resistance
Super Alloys
Titanium
Strong/ Elastic/ Lightweight/ Corrosion and extreme temperature resistance
Plastic
Many varieties available, depends on requirements and specifications
Delrin
Stable material that can be machines within tight tolerances/ ideal for producing stiff, low friction parts
HDPE
High tensile strength/ High impact resistance/ UV resistance
PVC
Strong/ Durable/ Lightweight
Nylon
For domestic appliances and automotive components
Polycarbonate
Durability/ High resistance to breaking and cracking
Once material selection is done for the component, the coatings and finishing will also affect the durability of the product. For metal components, heat treatment is often applied to modify the hardness of the material while different coatings and treatments are applied for other materials to add colour and protection to the surface.
Types of Coating
Anodizing
Treatment method of aluminium in which an electrochemical process is used to form an oxide layer on the material, to protect it.
Parkerizing
Treatment method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of an electrochemical phosphate conversion coating.
Bluing
An electrochemical process in which steel is partially protected against rust, and is named after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish.
Plating
The process of covering the surface of a material or workpiece with a different metal, and can be achieved through various methods
Painting
The use of oil-based paints to coat the metal surfaces to protect against corrosion.
Powder Coating
A type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light.
Our extensive knowledge and rich experience in machining materials allow us to advise our clients on the best materials to use in our clients’ projects in achieving optimal results with the most cost-efficient materials and treatments.
