Industry Solutions
Manufacturing & Industrial
Whether you're running high-volume CNC production or building custom industrial equipment, our metals deliver the machinability, wear resistance, and dimensional stability that manufacturing demands.
Industry Overview
Manufacturing and industrial applications require metals optimized for machinability, dimensional stability, and mechanical performance. Free-cutting brass and leaded bronzes minimize tool wear in high-volume production, while copper and aluminum serve structural and thermal roles in equipment design.
Key Requirements
Machinability
Free-cutting alloys like C360 brass and C544 bronze minimize cycle times, tool wear, and production costs.
Dimensional Stability
Tight tolerances demand stress-relieved material with consistent grain structure.
Wear Resistance
Bearing surfaces, guides, and wear plates need alloys with low friction coefficients and self-lubricating properties.
Material Certification
Traceable mill certs with chemistry and mechanical properties for quality assurance programs.
Our Metals for Manufacturing & Industrial
We supply the following metals and product forms to serve manufacturing & industrial applications.
C932 bearing bronze for bushings and wear plates, C544 free-cutting phosphor bronze for screw machine products, and C954 aluminum bronze for heavy-duty wear components.
C360 free-cutting brass is the go-to alloy for screw machine products, fittings, and precision-turned components where machinability is paramount.
C110 and C145 copper for EDM electrodes, resistance welding tips, and thermal tooling applications where conductivity matters.
6061-T6 aluminum for jigs, fixtures, machine frames, and tooling plates. Excellent machinability with good structural strength.
