Fabrication Materials
Part of our expert knowledge comes from an understanding of the different materials used in our custom fabrication shop. Understanding the differences in metal can make a big difference in your bottom line.
Ferrous Materials
This class of metals offer formability, simple welds, and low-cost.
- Steel: High corrosion resistance and longevity. Mostly used because of its durability and appearance.
- Delrin: This is a manmade thermoplastic used for its high stiffness, low friction, and excellent stability.
- Hardened rubber or plastic: High malleability and cost-effectiveness make these materials versatile, durable, and cost-effective.
Non-Ferrous Materials
More diversity of materials, resistant to corrosion, and many have a self-healing layer.
- Aluminum: Low density, good electrical conductivity, nonmagnetic, malleable, easy to work with.
- Copper: A pure metal with good thermal and electrical conductivity.
- Brass: Harder than other materials, but still machines well in casts and forms. Good electrical and acoustic properties.
- Lead: This pure metal is the heaviest option but has good corrosion resistance.
- Nickel: Available as a pure metal or an alloy, good for high temperatures and mechanical performance.
- Titanium: Low density, high melting point, and excellent corrosion resistance.
