Stainless Steel is made from steel by adding elements to the steel when in a molten state. The primary element added to make stainless steel is chromium. Chromium is an extremely hard material and is very wear resistant and will not corrode. The more chromium added to steel the great the hardness, corrosion and wear resistance. Other elements controlled in the alloy is Nickel which also effects the performance of the material. The most basic grade of stainless steel is 301 but the most common grades are 303, 304, 316 and 316L.

This is an extremely common material used in a huge number of applications in common day use today. From aluminium foil to wrap food to cooking containers to aircraft parts to engine blocks for cars etc. The material is made from one of the most common ores available in the world called bauxite. But while the ore is common the extraction of the aluminium is expensive and requires a lot of energy and can only be purified by a process called electrolysis requiring a vast amounts of electricity. The main properties of aluminium is that it has an excellent strength to weight ratio which makes it ideal for many application but it has also many other key properties like corrosion resistance, machinability, stability and availability.

Forging capability from small detailed parts to large forgings of 50Kg. Maximum forging capacity of 1600 Ton. Forged parts mostly CNC machine to finished part level.
