Frequently Asked Questions

My industry is not listed. Can you still help

Profiles and forgings are made to your drawing rather than to a catalogue, so the industry matters less than the part. Send the drawing and the application and our engineers will advise the process and the material.

Do you develop the material for a specific application

Yes. Where the steel grade is not determined by the customer, our engineers advise an appropriate material based on the application area and the mechanical properties needed. Our metallurgical experts also work on customised alloy developments.

Can you supply parts that need certification or testing

Testing is part of our value added services, alongside machining, heat treatment and fabrication.

Tell Us What the Part Has To Do

The application decides the steel grade, the tolerance and the delivery condition. Describe it and send a drawing, and we will propose the manufacturing route.
