Materials

Crossbarry Precision Engineering (CPE) is a well-established company that specializes in manufacturing high-quality precision components for engineering applications.

A variety of materials are used in the manufacturing of various components. These materials are carefully selected based on their specific properties and suitability for different applications. The following headings provide an elaboration on the different materials used:

Mild Steel and High Tensile Steel:

Mild steel and high tensile steel are commonly used materials due to their strength and durability. Mild steel is a low-carbon steel that is easy to work with, while high tensile steel has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for applications where high strength is required.

Hastelloy:

Hastelloy is a corrosion-resistant alloy known for its excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. It is commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and aerospace.

Stainless Steels:

Stainless steels are highly corrosion-resistant and are used in a wide range of applications. Different grades of stainless steel are available, including 316, 304, 303, and 400 series. Each grade has its own specific properties, making it suitable for different environments and requirements.

Plastics:

Various types of plastics are used, including:

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): PTFE is a non-reactive and heat-resistant plastic known for its low friction properties. It is commonly used in applications requiring high chemical resistance, such as seals and gaskets.

Delrin: Delrin, also known as acetal or polyoxymethylene, is a strong and stiff engineering plastic. It is often used in applications requiring high mechanical strength and low friction, such as gears and bearings.

Nylon: Nylon is a versatile thermoplastic known for its toughness and resistance to wear. It is commonly used in applications such as gears, bushings, and conveyor belts.

Peek: Peek (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high-performance plastic known for its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. It is often used in demanding applications that require resistance to high temperatures and chemicals.

Tivar: Tivar is a brand name for UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), a plastic known for its exceptional wear resistance and low friction properties. It is commonly used in applications requiring impact resistance, such as conveyor components.

Brass and Bronze

Brass and bronze are metal alloys that are often used for their excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. They are commonly used in applications such as electrical connectors, fittings, and decorative elements.

Aluminium Bronze:

Aluminium bronze is a type of bronze alloy that contains aluminum as the main alloying element. It offers high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity. Aluminium bronze is commonly used in marine applications, such as propellers, valves, and marine hardware.

MATERIAL CERTIFICATION:

Material certification can be provided for all components. This means that the manufacturer can supply documentation certifying the specific materials used in the production of the components. Material certification is important in industries where traceability and compliance with certain standards or regulations are required. It ensures that the materials meet the specified requirements and helps maintain quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
