Home > Marine > Industries Marine The Marine Industry poses a raft of requirements for engineering materials. The first one that comes to mind is the issue of corrosion many materials face in saltwater solutions, so resistance to these events is a must. With a specific weight of 1.025Kg/l, marine structures must also be incredibly strong to withstand the forces inflicted by seawater, both stationary and under pressure from, let alone the weight of ships and liners themselves. Often within the world of engineering, there are crossovers within industries, and this is also true of the Marine industry. As well as all of the vessels used at sea level, including; boats, yachts, desalination plants etc, we also have to consider the uses of equipment which aren't utilising the sea itself, but are more interested in what lies beneath. Oil & Gas, for example, sits neatly within this particular segment, and the materials used must withstand both the marine environment and the chemical. ​ The materials and applications on this page are listed solely as a guide and do not reflect the limit of our supply, or the uses of said materials.

Home > Industries > Leisure Leisure The industries of leisure, sport and recreation may be wrongly considered of less importance when it comes to materials selection for optimum performance than other heavy industries within engineering. However, this is a most unforgivable misconception when we consider that the international leisure, sports and recreation industries are worth tens of billions of pounds to the global economy each year, not to mention that the competition and engagement aspects give all citizens the ability to support a team, watch live action and emulate their sporting icons by buying and using the same equipment which their heroes use. Key considerations needed to be employed when selecting materials for products in this industry are; strength - most sports equipment is subject to very high stresses, formability - sports consumer products must be formed into the optimal shapes to ensure maximum performance, corrosion resistance - many activities take place in outdoor and marine situations, so the ability to withstand the elements and salt water are imperitive. ​ The materials and applications on this page are listed solely as a guide and do not reflect the limit of our supply, or the uses of said materials.

Home > Materials > Steel > Maraging Maraging Steel Maraging steels are steels with 18% nickel as their primary strengthening element and either cobalt (C-alloys) or titanium (T-alloys) as their secondary alloying elements. The name derives from the substructure of the material and its subsequent treatment used to give this material its remarkable properties, which are the martensitic substructure (Mar) and aging. These two features combine to offer a material with excellent tensile and yield strengths, toughness, fatigue strength, hardness, workability, weldability, machinability, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. ​ These alloys are used in the extremes of industry, where their properties offer unrivaled performance in applications such as landing gear on aircraft, jet engine and helicopter driveshafts, transmission shafts, couplings, and motorsport components. ​ With their aptitude for machining in the annealed condition and excellent post-machining surface finish, these alloys are usually supplied in bar or billet form, but other shapes are also available. ​ All the below grades and shapes of maraging steels listed below are supplied by Integ Metals, so please feel free to contact our experts today for more information or to place an order.

Home > Materials > Titanium > CPUA CPUA Titanium Commercially Pure and Unalloyed Titanium Alloys are used in industries where their combined high corrosion resistance and good formability is a necessary requirement, but ultimate strength is not. Commercially Pure Titanium Alloys are those which have a Titanium content of no less than 99%, with additional interstitials containing controlled amounts of Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Iron and Oxygen making up the balance. The traditionally termed Commercially Pure grades are Grades 1-4. Grade 1 Titanium has the greatest corrosion resistance and formability with a relatively low strength. The pattern reverses through Grades 2 and 3 until we reach Grade 4 Titanium, which is the strongest Commercially Pure Alloy, but with only moderate formability. Grades 7, 11, 16, and 17 are included in the CPUA category because they only contain trace amounts of Palladium (Max. 0.25%) to increase corrosion resistance. Additionally, Grade 26 is included as it possesses similar mechanical qualities to Grades 7 respectively, but with Ruthenium replacing its Palladium. All the grades, shapes, and specifications of Commercially Pure and Unalloyed Titanium found below are available directly through Integ Metals, so please feel free to read through the information on this page for reference, or contact us directly with your requirements.

Home > Shapes > Wire Wire Wire is a mill product directly related to rods and bars. The differing factor here is that they are typically drawn from rod, rather than extruded as a finer bore. Wires are available in a range of additional shapes to the round wire which we're accustomed to, including but not limited to; square, flat, triangular, oval, hexagonal, etc. The dimensional limitations on the definition of "wire" are not more than 25.4mm for round products and 13mm for square. ​ There is a broad range of different wire types for different applications, all requiring different properties. These include; structural wire for uses such as cables for bridges - requiring high tensile strength and good corrosion resistance, spring steel, for automotive suspension and mattresses, requiring good elasticity and material memory, and electrical wires - needing both tensile strength to support themselves over large spans, and good electrical conductivity. ​ We supply all grades of Wire listed below.

Home > Materials > Nickel NIckel Nickel, Nickel Alloys, and Nickel-based Superalloys are used in a broad range of engineering applications, both as an additive alloying element and also in the useful array of alloys that derive directly from it. 68% of all nickel used is applied as an alloying element in stainless steels, whilst less than 10% is used to produce nickel alloys themselves. Nickel is characterised as having good corrosion resistance, due to a nickel oxide passivation layer that covers its surface, high strength, good creep resistance, good formability, ductility, machinability, and weldability. Nickel alloys are generally split into five distinct groups to reflect the effects their alloying elements have on them. These are commercially pure & unalloyed alloys, corrosion-resistant alloys, high-performance alloys, high-temperature alloys, and controlled-expansion alloys. Nickel alloys are routinely used in the aerospace industry, where alloys termed "Superalloys" came into their own at the advent of the jet age. Their high mechanical strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures along with resistance to corrosion and oxidation make them ideal for use in jet engines, where their high density can account for 50% of the engine's overall weight. Nickel alloys are also used in chemical and power production machinery, oil and petrochemical production, furnace components, marine engineering , and burner nozzles. ​ Integ Metals supply alloys from the five main groups of materials, so please visit each group's page from the list below to read more, or feel free to contact us for more information and pricing. ​ Nickel Categories CPLA Nickel Commercially Pure and Low Alloy Nickel Alloys contain at least 93% Nickel by weight, with trace amounts of either each or all of the following Copper, Iron, Manganese, Carbon, Silicon, Sulfur, Magnesium, Aluminium, and Titanium making up the balance ...

Home > Materials > Aluminium > 2xxx 2xxx Series Aluminium The major alloying element of 2xxx Series Aluminium Alloys is copper, contributing up to 6.8% of their composition. Copper has a significant effect in increasing aluminium's strength, whilst magnesium, manganese and silicon additions allow the alloys to be further solution and precipitation heat treated. This leads to 2xxx series alloys having some of the highest aluminium strengths, after the 7xxx Series - higher than that of some steels - whilst 2xx.x castings offer the highest strength of all cast aluminium alloys. Furthermore, these grades maintain their strength across a broad temperature range, making them ideal for the aeronautical and automotive industries. ​ Where 2xxx alloys do not excel is in corrosion resistance, with intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, both being a curiously specific problem - unusual for an aluminium alloy. To address this, where good corrosion resistance is a necessity, Alclad grades are created as a composite sandwich, with the strong 2xxx core being plated with corrosion-resistant alloys. ​ These alloys machine well, 2011 especially, but require specific treatment for welding, with many grades considered "unweldable." Grade 2219 is used for applications where high-strength weldments are needed. ​ We supply all grades popular of 2xxx series alloys, so please feel free to contact us with your direct requirements.
