An alloy is any material that has metallic properties and is composed of two or more mixed chemical elements of which at least one is a metal. Alloys are created to obtain desirable features, such as increased hardness, strength, durability, or lightness.
A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
Copper alloy castings are specified for services where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired. Casting readily produces irregular and often complex external-internal contours. All copper-base alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined. Common copper-base materials include brass and bronze.
A commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
Titanium is a silver-white metal used primarily to make light, strong alloys with good temperature and corrosion resistance. Titanium alloys weigh approximately 44% less than stainless or alloy steels.
Supplier can provide forgings of custom melted metals. Examples of custom metal applications are obsolete alloys, foreign alloys, newly created alloys, tighter chemistry control of existing alloys, and quick delivery or smaller quantities of existing alloys.

Cold forging is a variation of impression die forging and may include processes such as bending, cold drawing, cold heading, coining, extrusions, punching, thread rolling, and others. Part temperature during cold forging ranges from room temperature to several hundred degrees. Cold forging is primarily used on smaller parts of 10 pounds or less for applications requiring high strength, close tolerances, and volume production. Cold forging materials include lower-alloy and carbon steels, 300 and 400 series stainless steel, selected aluminum alloys, brass and bronze.
In the impression die forging process, a press or hammer is used to pound or press metal into the desired shape. The hydraulic presses, mechanical presses and hammers used in this process have capacities up to 50,000 tons. Two tooling dies containing a mirror image profile of the end product geometry are used to form the metal. They metal is usually heated prior to forging, however some smaller parts may be forged cold. The metal undergoes plastic deformation during the forging process and flows to take on the shape of the dies. The geometry for this type of forging ranges from simple to complex and part size from a few ounces to 60,000 pounds.
In open die forging, metal is pressed or pounded between two flat dies with no precut profiles. In this process, the work piece is moved under the press or hammer. Parts from a few pounds to over 150 tons can be forged using the open die method. Almost all forgeable ferrous and nonferrous alloys can be open die forged.
Seamless rolled ring forging is used to forge rings from a few inches to 30 feet in diameter, weighing anywhere from less than 1 pound up to 350,000 pounds. The metal to be forged begins as a thick, round piece. A hole is punched through the center to create a doughnut shape and the part is then squeezed, rolled, or pounded into a thin ring.

AS 9100 is an expanded, international version of AS 9000, a standard which defines quality system requirements for suppliers to the aerospace industry. AS 9100 was developed by major aerospace manufactures in conjunction with the ISO Aerospace Technical Committee (TC) 20, and published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
ISO 9001:2000 establishes requirements for company quality management systems. Standards range from manufacturing to services such as design, development, production, and installation.
ISO 13485:2003 specifies quality management system (QMS) requirements for organizations that need to demonstrate their ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet applicable customer and regulatory requirements. ISO 13485:2003 contains specific requirements for medical devices and excludes non-applicable requirements from ISO 9001. Consequently, an organization with a QMS that conforms to ISO 13485:2003 cannot claim to conformity to ISO 9001 unless the QMS meets all of ISO 9001’s requirements.
ISO 14001 specifies the actual requirements for an environmental management system. It applies to those environmental aspects, over which the organization has control or influence. ISO 14001 was first published in 1996 and is the only ISO 14000 standard against which it is currently possible to be certified by an external certification authority.
ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an ISO Technical Specification that aligns existing American (QS-9000), German (VDA6.1), French (EAQF) and Italian (AVSQ) automotive quality systems standards for the global automotive industry.
QS 9000 is a quality standard for suppliers of DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation. QS-9000 is based on the 1994 edition of ISO 9001, but contains additional requirements that are particular to the automotive industry. Specifically, QS 9000 applies to suppliers of production materials, production and service parts, heat treating, painting and plating, and other finishing services.
Other, unlisted certification or quality requirement.
