Castings

Critical and swift analysis of failed metal alloy components is key for many of the organizations that we work with. It’s imperative to keep essential infrastructure powered with suitable materials. Having materials correctly manufactured ultimately saves time and money while reducing operational downtime.

Forgings

Removing unacceptable risks in metal production, each cast is a unique entity, all tests and inspections are traceable to it with full product verification testing. This vastly reduces material failure and defects, extending the lifetime use of the product.

Heat treatment

The heat treatment processes we go through with our alloys work effectively to obtain the desired mechanical properties. This helps our materials to meet various specifications to exceptionally high standards.
