Reducing Weight
Improve your performance
Steel is 2.5 times denser than aluminium. Although the alloy is not as durable, it offers characteristics that make it an attractive engineering raw material.
While steel is a harder and more durable alloy, unlike aluminium, it is more prone to corrosion. Aluminium is also more malleable and easily formed into complex parts and components. Steel's impressive strength comes at a price - weight.
Greater Options
Aluminium may not be as structurally strong as other alloys. Still, the engineering material gives designers realistic options to design parts which may reduce weight while not impacting overall strength.
Aluminium in Industry
Typical examples include aerospace and motorsport applications. The alloy also performs well in corrosive environments.

Total Traceability
A critical aspect of engineering material supply is traceability; we have systems to accomplish this.
Our unique barcoding system ensures full product traceability for all stocked materials under our care. Each product carries a unique identifier during the supply process.
Traceability forms a fundamental aspect of our quality management and bespoke IT systems.
Stock Portfolio
We stock aluminium alloys in various grades, from general engineering products to alloys suitable for high-technology applications, including aerospace.
We offer a range of aluminium shapes from stock, including bars, forgings, plates, sheets and tubes.
We combine our stock, in-house processing services, and UKAS-accredited metallurgical support services to offer a single supply source for your engineering raw materials.
