STAINLESS STEEL

Type 302

 

The general purpose 18/8 Cr/Ni grade can be cold worked to high tensile strengths.

Good corrosion resistance.

 

Type 304

Low carbon higher nickel version of 302

 

Type 316

Improved corrosion and resistance, due to addition of molybdenum.

 

APLICATION

 

Orthodontic wires & connectors, fishing tackle braiding, weaving, medical and food industries

Nickel silver (German silver)

Type NS106

 Alloys notable for their good corrosion resistance and attractive colour.

The range of alloys becomes progressively whiter with increased nickel content.

Excellent cold formability readily soldered or brazed.

 

APLICATION

Jewellery, connectors, cutlery and medical

 

 

Brass

 

Type CZ106

 70/30 Brass. Maximum ductility of the Cu-Zn alloys.

Often chosen for deep drawing

 

Type CZ107-108

Excellent cold working alloy. General  purpose alloy, for simple forming operation.

 

GALVANISED IRON

Processing with low carbon steel wire, through drawing and electric galvanizing

 

APLICATION

Widely used in medical equipment, weaved mesh, brush, tight wire, filter slice, high pressure pipe, architecture and art craft.
