Non-ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron as their main component and therefore offer properties such as corrosion resistance, low weight, good conductivity, and resistance to chemical exposure. The choice of metal depends on the application, with factors such as wear resistance, machinability, and strength also playing a role. Discover below the non-ferrous metals that Hetraco supplies for applications including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and offshore, ranging from custom parts to small production runs.

Non-ferrous metals are used in situations where specific material properties are important. These include corrosion resistance, low weight, good conductivity, high strength, or resistance to chemical exposure. Because these metals do not contain iron as their main component, they offer clear advantages over standard steel grades in many technical and industrial applications. They are used in environments where reliability, durability, and dimensional stability are essential. Discover the possibilities at Hetraco.

Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications

The strength of non-ferrous metals lies in their wide range of applications. Depending on the type of material and its composition, they can perform well under varying temperatures, in humid conditions, in chemical processes, or in applications where weight and conductivity are important factors. As a result, they are suitable for sectors such as mechanical engineering, equipment manufacturing, offshore, electrical engineering, the energy sector, the chemical industry, and the process industry. Careful material selection is particularly important for components that must function over the long term.

Material selection tailored to your application

Every application places different demands on the material. Sometimes corrosion resistance is key, while in other cases wear resistance, machinability, strength, or electrical conductivity are the deciding factors. That is why selecting a non-ferrous metal often requires technical consultation. Hetraco is happy to work with you to find the right solution for your application, whether it involves non-standard specifications, small production runs, or custom items outside our regular product range.

In addition, we don’t just provide advice based on material type; we also consider availability, machinability, documentation requirements, and lead time. As an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified organization, Hetraco operates in accordance with clear quality and environmental standards. This ensures a meticulous process, from inquiry to delivery. Non-ferrous metals are therefore not only selected based on their properties but are also tailored to the technical, practical, and quality requirements of your project.
