Our Turned Parts can machine a wide range of materials on our CNC machining centres. These fall into two main categories, being ferrous and non-ferrous. Our fixed head and sliding head CNC turning lathes are also suitable for machining engineering plastics.
We also offer subcontract turning of exotic materials and specialist alloys. All material is purchased from our UKAS ISO 9001 approved supply base who we have been using for many years. Having this procedure gives full traceability from receipt of material to delivery of the finished parts.
We have great experience in the machining of materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and plastic. We are a multi-metal machining shop allowing us to maximize the industry sectors we supply. Many different grades of each material type are therefore machined. The following section gives more information on material grades.
Steel grades machined are generally mild and alloy steel. Please see the main grades below:
Furthermore, other steel grades can be turned and milled so please ask if not listed above.
Both free-cutting and high-tensile grades of brass are machined on a regular basis. The main grades are therefore listed below:
In essence, aluminium CNC machining is a core part of our subcontract engineering service. Here are the main grades we can therefore turn and mill:
