Each sector has its own reasons a part fails: corrosion, hygiene, vibration, fatigue, fit. These are the details we look for first when a drawing arrives from each one.
Typical parts
What matters
Guards that actually fit the frame they're bolted to; slotted holes where site tolerances are loose; safety-yellow coating that survives a wash-down.
Mild steel · 5052 Al · powder coat
Typical parts
What matters
316L where acids and chlorides live, continuous welds without crevices, passivation after welding, and no carbon steel tools touching stainless.
304 · 316L · pickle & passivate
Typical parts
What matters
Parts that survive shock loading and dirt: pre-hardened 4140 for wear, generous fillets, standard bar sizes so a replacement can be turned quickly in season.
4140 PH · 1045 · galvanised steel
Typical parts
What matters
Alignment. A pump base machined flat after welding and bores held to H7 keep couplings and seals alive far longer than a "close enough" bracket.
316L · hot-dip galvanised steel
Typical parts
What matters
Vibration and fatigue: weld toes away from bend lines, no sharp notches, and aluminium welding kept to TIG with the right filler.
5083 Al · mild steel · zinc
Typical parts
What matters
Visible faces handled like finished goods, consistent weld dressing, and colour-matched coatings. Structural certification stays with your engineer.
316 · mild steel · powder coat
If it's on a drawing and fits the envelope, we'll look at it. Tell us how the part is used and we'll ask the right questions.
