Materials
Can you work with Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy or Kovar?
Answer
Grades we will evaluate on request include Inconel 625 and 718, Monel 400 and Hastelloy C276. Evaluation means we review material availability, forming or machining feasibility and tooling before quoting — it is not a claim of routine production volume. Titanium Parts Titanium grades TA1, TA2 and TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) are evaluated case by case, with springback and surface condition controlled through tooling and process settings rather than assumed.

What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Next step. Send the drawing for a manufacturability review, or send the part data for a process and cost route.
