Metal forming - Import export

We have a long and established history in serving the global Powder Metallurgy industry with substantial historical product developments and leadership representation at Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF). Our ability to engineer customized, structural metal powders through water atomization for Powder Metallurgy (PM) applications is world renown, particularly in the automotive and industrial markets. Powder Metallurgy (PM) is the process of pressing and sintering a metal powder into a near net shape part that offers numerous advantages over other metal forming technologies including: High customization such as size, alloy and properties Cost effectiveness and sustainability due to near net shape or net shape production Shape complexity without secondary operation Products We manufacture an extensive range of alloys to numerous customers specifications including chemistry modifications.

Rodar® is an Iron-Nickel-Cobalt alloy with an unique linear thermal expansion coefficient. It is also stable to cryogenic temperatures. This combination of characteristics has prompted its application in electrical package sealing of glass/metal and ceramic/metal. Rodar® can be formed and deep drawn from the annealed temper. A 1/8 hard temper is optimum for heavy piercing.The material can be joined to other metals by welding, brazing, and soldering. The joint design must consider that Rodar® has a lower expansion coefficient than most other metals. Available Sizes: Rodar® is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thicknesses from 0.001” to 0.060” (0.0254 mm to 1.524 mm) and width up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). The material conforms to ASTM F15, AMS 7728 and UNS K94610.

The welding process is one of the core ways in which we manufacture precision tubes. Our high-quality tubing starts off as a flat strip of metal. The strip is formed into a tube through a series of rollers and the join, also called the seam, is then welded together. Welded Processes Special non-destructive testing methods – including eddy current, ultrasonic and pressure testing - are used to ensure a consistent weld. Just like with seamless manufacturing, welded tubes can be drawn down by plug drawing or sinking. This method can be used to create very long lengths of coiled tube, these can also be measured during coiling using a laser measurement. The main welded tube manufacturing processes used are strip welding and cold drawing, but other important processes in between, or at the end of the drawing process, include Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
