| Stainless and nickel alloys have remarkable
strength and durability however, they are also very difficult
to machine. Ask any tradesman and theyll tell you that
machining these materials is an art. Were pleased to
tell you that weve mastered that art. |

Products and Services
|
|
|
Burn and Turn
|
For radial products, rings and discs, we offer
a "burn and turn" product. Blanks are plasma cut and
then machined leaving a clean, precise, machine cut edge with no
heat affected zone (HAZ). These products are of particular interest
to finish machine shops who want to save wear and tear on expensive,
precision CNC equipment.
Burn and turn products are also of use to fabricators and end-users
with direct use applications where no secondary machining operations
are performed. The consistent dimensional tolerances of our burn
and turn products minimize labor costs during fit-up and final
assembly. |
Burn and turn blanks ready for your finish machining
operations.

Machined all over products have a machined finish on all surfaces.
Precise dimensional tolerances make our machined all over blank
a perfect choice for parts which must undergo extensive CNC machining. |
|
Machined All
Over
|
When extensive finish machining operations are
required, machined all over blanks are your best choice. These
high quality blanks are machined on all surfaces, ready for your
finish machine shop or in-house machining facility.
Machined all over products also offer precise
flatness tolerances not available from plate.
Plate gauges are generally limited to 5". If your requirement
exceeds this limit we also offer a machined all over from forging
product. All forgings are fully annealed, SA182 forgings and offer
the same quality finish as our plate products. |
|
Custom
Machining
|
In addition to machine cut blanks, we also produce
finish machined products to your exact specifications. You can save
time and reduce freight and finish machining costs by using our one-source
finish machined products. |
|
|
Rectangular Edge Milled Products
|
Our rectangular milled products are an excellent
choice for parts which must later undergo polishing. Blanks for
cutouts can be shipped with your finished parts to simplify polishing
operations.
Spot face, drilling and tapping operations are
also available for baffle plates and machine assemblies.
Milled products from plate are also an alternative when extruded
flat bar products are unsuitable or unavilable. |
|
|
|
Profile Milled Products
|
When secondary edge details are required or when
the profile must be machined for aesthetic reasons, we provide
full CNC profile milling of your parts. Accurate and repeatable
profile dimensions simplify the setup and fixturing of additional
machining operations and also reduce tool and equipment wear.
Profile milled plate products offer superior profile tolerance
and are ideal for any application where a plasma cut edge is unsuitable. |

Applications

|
|
Tube Sheets
|
All tube sheet products begin with a machined
all over disc. Precise hole location and hole dimensional tolerances
assure easy integration into your finished product.
If your in-house facility has trouble working in stainless or
you just need more capacity during busy times, our tube sheet products
can be an convenient and economical alternative. |

Burn and Drill
|
When outside edge and cutout tolerance are less
critical, we offer a burned and drilled product. Typically used
for machine mounting plates, this product offers the best of both
worlds.
Close tolerance plasma cutting and precision drilled or drilled
and tapped holes lead to a "tolerance where it counts" approach
that produces a cost effective product with minimal lead times. |
