Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy celebrated for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust. It is widely used in kitchenware, medical instruments, and structural applications where both strength and appearance are important. 

Tool Steel

Tool steel is a type of steel designed for making tools due to its hardness and ability to retain a sharp cutting edge. It is highly wear-resistant and is commonly used in manufacturing and machining tools and dies. 

Mild Steel 

Mild steel is a low-carbon steel known for its malleability and ductility. It is easy to weld and shape, making it a staple in construction, automotive manufacturing, and general fabrication. 

Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is extensively used in the aerospace industry, automotive parts, packaging, and construction due to its versatility and ease of fabrication. 

Titanium

Titanium is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. It is widely used in aerospace components, medical implants, and sports equipment due to its light weight and durability.

Nickel Alloys


Nickel alloys are known for their ability to withstand high temperatures, corrosion, and mechanical stress. They are essential in aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation industries where durability and performance in extreme conditions are required. 

Copper

Copper is highly conductive, with excellent thermal and electrical properties. It is widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, and electronics due to its conductivity, malleability, and resistance to corrosion. 

Cobalt-Chromium 

Cobalt-chromium alloys are prized for their exceptional strength, wear resistance, and biocompatibility. These properties make them ideal for medical implants, dental prosthetics, and high-performance engineering components.
