Material Guides
Properties, grades, and selection guides for common engineering materials.
Mild Steel
The most common fabrication material. Affordable, easy to weld and laser cut, and suitable for a wide range of structural and general-purpose applications.
View guideStainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and visually appealing. Available in 304 (general purpose) and 316 (marine grade) for applications demanding durability and a professional finish.
View guideAluminium
Lightweight, naturally corrosion-resistant, and highly machinable. Available in multiple alloy series for sheet metal, CNC machining, marine, and architectural applications.
View guideCopper
Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Used for busbars, heat sinks, electrical components, and decorative work. Challenging but rewarding to fabricate.
View guideBrass
A copper-zinc alloy with excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and an attractive gold appearance. Widely used for fittings, valves, decorative hardware, and instruments.
View guideEngineering Steels (4140, 4340, 300M, EN26)
High-strength alloy steels for shafts, gears, axles, and high-stress drivetrain components. Quench and temper heat treatment for exceptional fatigue resistance and toughness.
