Company Overview
As Copper Alloys Ltd, we position ourselves as a single-source supplier specialising in the design, development and manufacture of the most complex and advanced non-ferrous mechanical components globally.
Our primary focus is on critical engineering applications where material integrity is paramount. We excel in transforming raw materials through melting, forging, and precise machining to produce parts for the aerospace, marine defence and petrochemical industries. We are recognised experts, particularly in high-performance Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB) and our proprietary Elite Alloys.
Our integrated approach guarantees complete control over quality, traceability (right back to the original melt), and documentation, minimizing risk for our clients. We combine a deep metallurgical history, spanning over a century, with modern capabilities to deliver bespoke solutions that maximize through-life performance, often working to the stringent requirements of defence organisations.
Products and Services
Copper Alloys excels in creating bespoke metal solutions, with a proven track record in producing high-performance alloys, most notably Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB) for defence projects around the world.
Copper Alloys’ integrated process allows them to control everything from melting and forging to machining and assembling final components, often supplying materials with world-class documentation packs.
Copper Alloys Ltd serves highly demanding sectors, including Aerospace, Defence and Petrochemical industries, focusing on parts that require exceptional reliability, integrity and performance in harsh environments. Copper Alloys also offers Specialty Steels as alternatives.
Copper Alloys has also developed new material technology to replace nickel aluminum bronze which has issues with corrosion requiring regular overhaul and maintenance.
To solve this, CAL has developed wrought copper nickel chrome which is designed to last the lifetime of a submarine.
