Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Nonferrous metals and alloys are non-iron-based metals or alloys used for a wide range of applications.
Cobalt and Cobalt Alloys
Cobalt and cobalt alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent high temperature strength and resistance, and good corrosion resistance.
Specialty Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Specialty nonferrous metals and alloys include metals such as hafnium, zirconium, beryllium, tantalum or osmium with unique properties for specific applications.
Refractory and Reactive Metals
Refractory metals are a class of metals that are extraordinarily resistant to heat and wear and have extremely high melting points. Reactive metals have a strong affinity for oxygen and nitrogen at elevated temperatures and are highly resistant to corrosion at low temperatures.
