High-alloy steels are defined by a high percentage of alloying elements. They contribute to increase strength, toughness, hardness, and creep resistance of the base material. They can also increase machinability and corrosion resistance and allow to tailor the properties of the material to each specific application

Tool steel is a type of carbon steel that is well-matched for tool manufacturing, such as hand tools or machine dies. Its hardness, resistance to abrasion and ability to retain shape at higher temperatures are the key properties of this material.

Stainless steel is the name of a family of iron-based alloys known for their corrosion and heat resistance.

Superalloys are a group of nickel, iron–nickel and cobalt alloys developed for jet engines and turbines. These alloys have excellent heat resistant properties and retain their stiffness, strength, toughness and dimensional stability at much higher temperatures than the other aerospace structural materials.

Titanium alloys are lightweight, high-strength, low-corrosion structural material particularly suitable for applications where weight is a critical parameter, such as aerospace components.

Aluminium alloys are a family of materials which have low density, are non-toxic, have a high thermal conductivity and  excellent corrosion resistance. Some of these alloys can reach significant mechanical properties and they combine these characteristics with an ease of casting, machining and forming. They are also non-magnetic and non-sparking. The base metal is the second most malleable and the sixth most ductile.

Copper is a tough, ductile, malleable material combined with high thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make copper extremely suitable for tube forming, wire drawing, spinning and deep drawing.
