- Aluminium
- Carbon steel
Our future in R & D
Our vision for the future includes the continued close support of the R &D industry.
We remain focused and ahead of the curve when looking to keep the right materials to ensure swift delivery.
Material, not just for R &D (as we are well known for), but also for daily requirements.
While we can't keep everything for every one, we are flexible enough to be able to tailor our stock holding to customers specific needs.

After recently travelling to the mill to do our regular face to face meeting and inspection, we are pleased to say how impressed we were with the quality of not only the ever increasing range of Titanium wires and bars but the entire manufacturing process.
Right the way through manufacturing, we have the ability to hand pick the raw materials from ingot to finished wire. If you want to book enough material we can even go back to the billet that it's all made from.
Specialty Metals and our the mill are both proud to announce the arrival of
Titanium wire for Spherical and Nano Powder.

Can you tell the difference?
|
They certainly look identical, but only one of these bars is fully certified and traceable right back to the starting ingot made from 100% virgin material.
The other is made from scrap and is not fully traceable back to the raw material. Can you tell which one it is? |
We can.
|
We spend a lot of time and energy selecting producers and distributors. We are often visiting the mill's to audit QA/QC measures. Where possible we will select the raw material or the starting ingot for our bars and wires to ensure the best quality.
We have full traceability and supply our Material Certs with every order. We can also offer third party testing on lot orders from the mill if required.
We don't only support Defence, R & D, Mining, Energy, Chemical or mineral processing, Fabrication, Machine shops and Education...
Recently we have had calls looking for Titanium Tube for exhausts and Titanium Sheet and Titanium Plate for kick plates or skid plates in drag cars or race bikes.
So whether you are into performance street cars and bikes, professional car or bike racing, rc hobbies, part replacements for weight saving etc, give us a try.
We are always expanding our stocks. If we have enough demand and we don't currently stock it, we will consider it for our next stock order.
