High Performance Stainless Steels

Duplex stainless steels are usually selected for their high mechanical properties and good to very high corrosion resistance (particularly to stress corrosion cracking)

High Performance Stainless Steels

Aluminium Bronze

One of the most tarnish resistant of all the copper alloys, the appearance aluminium bronze does not deteriorate when exposed to the effects of atmospheric corrosion

Aluminium Bronze

Phosphor Bronze & Leaded Bronze

Available in both wrought and cast form, phosphor bronze and leaded bronze are used throughout many engineering industries and are ideal for heavy-duty components such as shafts, bearings and gears
