Titanium · Nickel-based superalloys · Super duplex
If 316L no longer does the job under chlorides, acid, 900 °C or fatigue loading, you are in the right place. We supply titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, Incoloy, Monel and super duplex grades in sheet, tube, bar, flange and fitting form. We deal directly with European mills and stockists, handle import and customs ourselves, and deliver the material with its certificate.

Suitable grades and the differences between them will appear here. If you are unsure, send the operating temperature, medium and pressure and we will make the recommendation.
Each family solves a different engineering problem. Hastelloy for corrosion, Inconel for temperature, titanium for weight and chloride resistance.
Ti
Half the weight of steel and effectively immune to seawater. Commercially pure grades go into process equipment; Grade 5 into aerospace and medical components.
Ni-Cr
Nickel-chromium superalloys that keep their strength and oxidation resistance at temperature. The material of furnaces, turbines, exhausts and combustion systems.
Ni-Mo
Chosen for chemical processes where reducing and oxidising acids occur together and pitting or crevice corrosion is the main risk.
Ni-Fe
Against carburisation, sulphidation and stress corrosion cracking; from heat treatment furnaces to sour gas lines.
Ni-Cu
For fast-flowing seawater, hydrofluoric acid and salt production; pure nickel for caustic service.
Fe-Cr-Ni
The economical step before nickel alloys. High pitting resistance and close to twice the strength of standard austenitics.

For titanium and nickel alloy grades see the alloy families above. Where a grade has no exact US equivalent we do not invent one — we state it plainly in the quotation as well.
Once we have your enquiry we find the best source among European stockists and mills. We can also quote the gaps in this table; lead time depends on the material and the source.

In these grades, wrong or undocumented material means a failure that surfaces months after commissioning. Our process is built to prevent that.
Material is delivered with the mill's original certificate showing chemical composition and mechanical properties. If you need 3.2, say so before the order so we can plan sourcing accordingly.
The heat number on the material matches the mill certificate, so the chain from mill to you stays unbroken. Marking is transferred on cut pieces.
On request, PMI (positive material identification), hardness and ultrasonic testing are carried out by an independent laboratory and delivered with the report.
Send the environment, temperature and pressure and we will propose the right grade together with a more economical alternative.
Availability in these grades changes from day to day. Send us what you need and we will check our network of European mills and stockists and tell you the real position: where from, when, with which certificate and at what price.
If you are not sure about the grade, leave that field empty and describe the service conditions; we will propose the material.
