Materials We Machine
From aluminum to the exotics — aluminum is our specialty, but the hard jobs live in the hard metals, and that's where we thrive.
We machine everything from free-cutting aluminum to punishing superalloys. Pick a material to see grades, applications, and how we approach it.
Compare the families
Where each material earns its keep — and what to watch.
| Material | Best for | Watch-outs | Common grades |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Light, conductive, general-purpose parts | Alloy and temper drive the result | 6061, 7075, 2024, 5052, MIC-6 |
| Titanium | Flight-critical and implantable parts | Costly to buy and cut | Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), CP titanium |
| Inconel | Extreme heat, pressure, corrosion | Work-hardens fast; punishes tooling | Inconel 625, 718 |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion resistance and strength, moderate cost | Each grade machines differently | 303, 304, 316, 17-4 PH |
| Engineering Plastics | Insulation, chemical resistance, low friction | Moves under the tool; needs heat control | PEEK, Delrin, UHMW, nylon, PTFE |
