We also stock copper, bronze, magnesium, brass, and titanium for varying applications in electrical works, automotive and aerospace applications.
Magnesium has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is suitable for parts where strength is desired at the expense of weight. Brass has excellent electrical conductivity, low friction and a laudable cosmetic appearance.
Titanium plays a pivotal role in aerospace and automotive bodies, as well as orthopedic applications in the medical and dental industries. It is strong, corrosion-resistant, sterilizable and bio-compatible.
The material listed below are all good for CNC machining. Some materials like cooper can be also used for sheet metal forming.
