World-leading marine and naval grade alloys

With over 170 formats available, Copper Alloys offers 250 alloys made-to-order for a large section of forgings, rings, blocks, bars, and pipes.

Integrated engineering allows us to melt, forge, machine, test, inspect, and assemble some of the most complex equipment for submarines, aircraft carriers, and a wide range of specialist critical marine infrastructure.

Highly skilled metallurgists and engineers at Copper Alloys present a single source of metal, machining of all associated parts and complete assemblies. Copper Alloys provides a turnkey solution to your problem.

From parts small enough to fit in your hand to complex components that you can walk through, Copper Alloys specialises in class-leading integrated engineering. Producing over 250 alloys in a wide range of formats, we specialise in converting raw materials into finished assembled components.

Adding unique value to the marine and naval engineering sector, our technical team has over 100 years of combined metallurgical and industrial knowledge to help you select the correct material. We will work with you to meet your exact requirements, maximising the mechanical properties for your application. The entire production and management teams pride themselves on their work. We go to every extreme to ensure that material or component supply exceeds all expectations.

A single source for complex marine grade alloys

Our team is committed to meeting agreed delivery dates, no matter how pressing.

We have applied over a century of experience and knowledge to develop a Quality Management System that minimises risk, enhances control and ensures commitments are realistic.

With adept experience in supporting the marine and naval engineering sector, Copper Alloys has attained quality approvals from navies around the world and is working directly with some of the most advanced engineering organisations to make their designs reality.

Achieve the optimal balance of efficiency and performance through existing industrial specifications or customised alloys for specific applications. Copper Alloys is your single source for complex, mission-critical materials. Through innovative, highly developed process technology along with decades of research and commitment, our metallurgical specialists have mastered engineering world-class naval alloys.

Ensuring we meet your exacting requirements; each material is rigorously tested through failure analysis. This process determines the primary causes leading to a failure, mitigating risk while maximising performance and integrity.

Marine and naval engineering material selection

We make sure that your marine engineering demands are met through an optimal balance of efficiency and performance. Our processes have been around for decades.

We have applied over a century of experience and expertise to develop a Quality Management System that minimises risk, enhances control and ensures commitments are realistic.

These processes mean that our metallurgical specialists have mastered engineering world-class naval defense alloys.

Our alloys aid in the mechanical engineering processes of boats, ships, marine vessels, and other marine applications.

Creating custom alloys means that we can create alloys resistant to wearing, have high strength and be corrosion resistant.

We can also help you to design your own alloy.

Our metallurgists are available to offer the best advice about specific operational environments and any desired properties, from aluminium bronze to cupro nickel.

Pushing the boundaries of exceptional marine and naval engineering support

We have the expertise and technical knowledge to meet the most stringent of requirements. This allows our metallurgists to produce mission-critical alloys suitable for any application.

Through precision multi-axis milling and turning, Copper Alloys is class-leading at machining complex alloys and resolving performance issues. Our team provides unparalleled project management, inspection, and supply chain integration. This also includes ensuring document control as well as a cost-effective business model.

World-class metallurgists at Copper Alloys have vast experience in converting raw material into finished marine grade alloys. Once the drawings for each naval alloy are complete, we support equipment producers in the production of specialist materials and designs.
