Material Selection Support
Chosen Around Your Application
Material Categories
Explore the aluminium and steel grades available for custom manufacturing projects. Material selection depends on strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, operating conditions, surface requirements, and project cost. If your drawing specifies a particular grade, include it with your RFQ so availability and suitability can be confirmed before production.
Metals
Aluminium
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly machinable, aluminium is well suited to precision components, machine parts, housings, fixtures, mounting plates, and automation equipment where reducing weight while maintaining good mechanical performance is important.
Common grades
Carbon & Mild Steel
A strong and cost-effective choice for machine components, structural parts, fixtures, brackets, plates, and general industrial applications where durability and mechanical strength are more important than minimum weight.
Common grades
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel combines mechanical strength with improved corrosion resistance, making it suitable for machinery, food-processing equipment, technical installations, fixtures, and components exposed to demanding operating environments.
Common grades
Tool & Engineering Steel
Engineering and tool steels are used where higher hardness, wear resistance, or mechanical performance is required. They are suitable for fixtures, tooling components, machine elements, wear parts, and mechanically demanding industrial applications.
Common grades
Availability, heat treatment, hardness, and machining requirements are confirmed per project.
Material grade availability, dimensions, certification requirements, and lead times are confirmed individually during quotation.
Steel Families
Structural & Engineering Steels
Strong, versatile, cost-effective
Suitable for machine components, brackets, fixtures, mounting plates, shafts, structural parts, and general industrial applications where mechanical strength and durability are important.
Common grades
Exact grade availability, heat treatment, dimensions, and mechanical-property requirements are confirmed for each project.
Stainless Steels
Corrosion-resistant, durable, industrial
Suitable for components exposed to moisture, demanding environments, cleaning processes, or applications where improved corrosion resistance is required while maintaining good mechanical performance.
Common grades
Surface finish, corrosion requirements, material documentation, and application conditions should be specified during quotation.
Tool & Wear-Resistant Steels
Hard, wear-resistant, mechanically demanding
Used for tooling, fixtures, machine elements, wear components, and applications requiring higher hardness or improved resistance to mechanical wear.
Common grades
Machining condition, hardness, heat treatment, and final mechanical requirements must be confirmed before production.
Material grade availability, dimensions, heat treatment, certification requirements, and lead times are confirmed individually during quotation.
Aluminium Alloys
6000 Series Aluminium
Versatile, machinable, corrosion-resistant
A widely used family of aluminium alloys for CNC-machined industrial components. 6000 series alloys offer a practical combination of machinability, strength, corrosion resistance, and surface finishing options for machinery, automation, fixtures, housings, and general OEM applications.
Common grades
5000 Series Aluminium
Corrosion-resistant, durable, weldable
5000 series aluminium provides good corrosion resistance and is commonly used for plates, structural components, machine parts, enclosures, and applications where durability and environmental resistance are important.
Common grades
7000 Series Aluminium
High-strength, lightweight, performance-focused
7000 series aluminium is suited to mechanically demanding components where a high strength-to-weight ratio is required. It can be used for precision fixtures, machine components, structural parts, and other high-load applications when specified by the project.
Common grades
Alloy availability, temper, dimensions, certification requirements, and lead times are confirmed individually during quotation.

Post-Processing Options
Depending on the material, geometry, and application, additional surface treatments and finishing operations can be coordinated after machining. These processes can improve corrosion resistance, wear behavior, appearance, surface condition, or functional performance.
Protective Coatings
Surface treatments can be coordinated to improve corrosion resistance, wear protection, appearance, or environmental durability depending on the material and application.
- Anodizing for aluminium
- Powder coating
- Black oxide / blackening
- Zinc plating
- Protective industrial coatings
Surface Finishing
Mechanical finishing options can be used to improve surface appearance, remove machining marks, prepare parts for coating, or meet project-specific surface requirements.
- As-machined
- Brushed
- Bead blasted
- Polished
- Deburring
Special Treatments
Additional treatments can be coordinated for projects that require specific mechanical, identification, or surface-performance characteristics.
- Heat treatment
- Hardening
- Laser marking
- Part identification
- Specialized finishing on request
