SUPPLYING METALS TO THE ENGINEERING SECTOR
Metals are vital in the engineering industry – their strength, toughness and thermal and electrical conductivity allows them to fulfil a wide assortment of construction and manufacturing related duties.
We recommend the following metals for your engineering projects. Alternatively, feel free to get in touch where a member of our knowledgeable team can provide more assistance.
METALS FOR USE IN THE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY
These are some of the metals we recommend for application in your engineering projects.
ALUMINIUM
As one of the metals with the highest electroconductivity, Aluminium is widely used in electrical engineering – from low voltage items like TV antennae and motors to high voltage duties like pylons that support overhead lines that transmit electricity all over a country.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless Steel is regarded as the world’s most important engineering and construction material. Steel is considered the most engineering-friendly material because of its superior surface finish, corrosion resistance and strength to weight ratio. It’s why it’s used in buildings, infrastructure, tools, weapons, vehicles, machines and electrical appliances worldwide.
BRASS
Combined with copper and zinc, Brass alloys are used for a multitude of engineering and decorative applications. These elements help increase strength, malleability, ductility and corrosion resistance. Brass is used in locks, hinges, gears, ammunition casings, bearings, zippers, plumbing and electrical plugs and sockets.
COPPER
Copper and copper alloys are considered some of the most versatile engineering materials available. It’s known for its strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability and ductility.
It is used across a number of engineering-related projects such as roofing, cladding, rainwater systems, heating systems, pipes, oil and gas lines and electrical wiring.
