Custom Conversions
Rare and difficult materials converted to your exact needs
The value is not the shelf. It is getting hold of the materials you cannot source anywhere else, and turning them into exactly what your program requires.
Request a QuoteMaterial nobody else can get
Obsolete specs, discontinued grades, short-supply superalloys and refractory metals. Our global mill and distribution network exists to find the material that stopped your program, and our billet inventory covers what no longer gets rolled.
Converted to your exact needs
Once we have the metal, we produce the size, temper, condition and finish your print calls out, at any precision of tolerance specified. Non-standard is the normal request here, not the exception.
Certified the way your program requires
If existing stock does not already carry the heat treatment, testing or inspection you need, we quote the material with that work performed and the documentation issued alongside it.
Conversion and processing services
Each service has its own page with what it is used for, the alloys we run and how to request it.
Rolling & Reducing
Slitting
Coil and sheet slit to exact widths, including narrow strip in alloys most slitters will not run.
Learn moreCold Reducing
Bar, tube and strip cold reduced to non-standard sizes and tempers without waiting on a mill run.
Learn moreCold Rolling
Sheet, strip and foil cold rolled down to light gauges, including foil to .0003".
Learn moreHot Rolling
Billet and ingot hot rolled into bar, plate and coil in sizes mills will not schedule.
Learn moreCutting & Shaping
Saw Cutting
Precision cut-to-length bar, plate, tube and billet so your shop starts on the machine.
Learn moreShearing
Sheet and light plate sheared to blank size for fast, low cost material preparation.
Learn morePlasma Cutting
Heavy plate profiled quickly, with allowance left for finish machining.
Learn moreLaser Cutting
Tight tolerance profiles and intricate detail in sheet and thin plate.
Learn moreWaterjet Cutting
Cold cutting with no heat affected zone, for thick sections and sensitive alloys.
Learn moreChemical Milling
Controlled etching to reduce gauge or pocket details without mechanical stress.
Learn moreMachining
Trepanning
Deep, concentric bores cut from solid bar with the core recovered instead of chipped away.
Learn moreDrilling & Gun Drilling
Gun drilled and deep hole bored bar held to tight straightness and concentricity.
Learn moreCNC Machining
Near-net and finished components machined directly from certified stock and forgings.
Learn moreLathe Turning
Bar turned, peeled and finished to diameter, straightness and surface requirements.
Learn moreThermal & Finishing
Casting & Joining
Testing & Analysis
Penetrant Dye Testing
Fluorescent and visible dye penetrant inspection for surface discontinuities.
Learn moreMagnetic Particle Inspection
Surface and near-surface flaw detection in ferromagnetic material.
Learn morePhysical Testing
Tensile, hardness, impact and stress rupture testing to confirm properties.
Learn moreSpectrographic Analysis
Rapid alloy verification and full chemistry confirmation.
Learn moreChemical Assay
Wet chemistry analysis for trace elements and precise composition.
Learn moreMicrography
Microstructure, grain size and inclusion evaluation with photomicrographs.
Learn moreSend the print, we will convert the metal
Billet in ready supply plus a global processing network, so custom sizes are produced instead of queued behind a mill run.
