Steel

We stock a wide range of steel products in specifications that suit most of the current aerospace manufacturing programs.

Both national and aircraft manufacturers’ proprietary specifications are stocked in a wide range of types and sizes.

We can also accommodate special requirements. We work closely with the leading mills so all stock items can be cut to size and machined precisely to your specifications.

Metallurgy and specifications

Steel is a material with a mass content of iron larger than the content of any other chemical element, and with a carbon content of usually less than two percent.

Different grades of steel are achieved by adding other alloying elements, such as manganese, nickel, chromium, titanium and molybdenum to the basic mix. By adding these alloys in varying quantities different grades of steel can be achieved that fulfil different needs. Most steel alloys can, after manufacture, be heat treated in different ways so they can be used for various purposes.
