What materials can we handle?

At our factories in Denmark and Latvia we have experiences handling various kind of materiales of metal and plastic.

This is the common materials we are machining:

Steel:

Steel is the most common but also the most popular metal to process due to its strength and durability. Steel is easy to weld compared to other similar metals. It is especially used in industrial contexts, the automotive industry, the oil and gas industry.

Stainless steel:

Stainless steel is also a popular metal for machining due to its strength and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is available in various alloys and aims to improve the steel’s mechanical and / or corrosion properties. The different types of stainless steel have a number of different treatment options and it can change the properties of the material and the way it is machined.

Aluminium:

Aluminum has many advantages as it is light, easy to machine, non-magnetic, corrosion resistant and inexpensive. Aluminum is even becoming a preferred choice to steel. However, for best results, aluminum welding always needs to be handled by an experienced machining shop. Along with the listed benefits, it can be machined to tight tolerances and can coat with many different materials to make it harder or more conductive as a cheaper alternative to using steel, stainless steel or copper.

Brass:

The advantage of brass processing is that it is easy to process, smooth, clean finish, non-sparkling and holds tolerances. Brass is better in intricate components that require sophisticated features.

Titanium

Titanium is a highly valued and useful metal for machining. Titanium is highly resistant to heat and corrosion and has the most significant strength to weight ratio of any metal. It is also lighter in weight, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from aviation to medical tools. One of the disadvantages of titanium, however, is that it can be very difficult to machine and the price of the material.

Copper

Copper is another metal that is highly valued for machining. Copper offers the benefits of versatility, durability, electrical conductivity and natural corrosion resistance. Copper does not hold tolerances as well as aluminum, but it is a much better electrical conductor.

Plastic

Plastic can be used as a cheap, non-metallic, non-conductive raw material for processing. Because plastics are inert and can be modified to suit a variety of properties, plastics-processed parts are used in a variety of industries, including medical, electronics, industrial, and scientific applications. Known for its smooth injection molding and extremely low cost.
