Metal Spinning Services
(104 companies)
Metal spinning services use a positive-pressure process where rotating tool (lathe) or roller shapes a spinning sheet metal workpiece such as a pipe, camshaft, or crankshaft.
Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
(1,625 companies)
Nonferrous metals and alloys are non-iron-based metals or alloys used for a wide range of applications.
Light Alloys and Metals
(331 companies)
Light alloys and light metals have low density and high strength-to-weight ratios. Light weight metals include aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and beryllium alloys.
Industrial Metal Detectors
(205 companies)
Industrial metal detectors indicate the presence of metal in nonconductive materials such as textiles, rubber, oils or liquids, plastics, powders, wood products and concrete.
Refractory and Reactive Metals
(183 companies)
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.
Precious Metals and Alloys
(151 companies)
Precious metals and precious alloys are rare metallic elements and alloys such as silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium. They posses unique characteristics that set them apart from other metals.
Powder Metal Services
(274 companies)
Powder metal services are used to create finely divided or powdered metals that are used in fabricating sintered parts, thermal spraying, filling plastics, and other specialized applications. Powdered metals include most types of metals.
Metal Spinning Machines
(11 companies)
Metal spinning machines are used in metal spinning (spin forming, flow forming), a process by which a metallic disk or tube is rotated at high speeds and formed into an axially symmetric part.
Metal Matrix Composites
(40 companies)
Metal matrix composites (MMC) consist of a metal and one or more other materials, typically a ceramic or organic compound. They provide superior specific strengths and good strength-to-weight ratios, resist fire and moisture, and are can be used over a wide range of temperatures. MMCs also provide resistance to radiation and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
Metal Billets, Slabs, and Blooms
(162 companies)
Metal billets, metal slabs, and metal blooms are large, massive blocks or rounds that are produced from a primary metal or during a recycling process. They are used as raw materials or feedstock in extrusion, forging, rolling, and other metal-processing operations.
Metal Casting Services
(1,622 companies)
Metal casting involves the shaping of free-flowing liquid metals through the use of dies, molds or patterns.
Metallized and Coated Films
(120 companies)
Metallized and coated films have a coating or thin metal film for decorative or functional applications.
Ferrous Metals and Iron Alloys
(1,552 companies)
Ferrous metals and alloys are iron-based materials that are used in a wide variety of industrial applications.
Metal Media and Abrasives
(109 companies)
Metal media and abrasives include metal shot or balls, cut wire, crushed metal grit, and shaped media for applications such as blasting, ball burnishing, peening, mass finishing (vibratory or tumbling), and deburring. Products are also used in bonded wheels and coated abrasives.
Specialty Metal Shapes and Stock
(218 companies)
Specialty metal shapes and stock consists of metals and alloys with an unlisted, specialized or proprietary shape or stock form.
