Materials

MNB has expertise in machining 'exotic' materials, many of which are routinely employed in the oil exploration industry.

The list of material types which fall comfortably within our capability includes;

  • High Tensile Non-Magnetic Steels
  • Low Alloy AISI Steels
  • High Nickel Steels
  • Duplex
  • Super Duplex
  • Beryllium Copper

While this list is non-exhaustive it hopefully gives an impression of the breadth of experience available to our customers. Indeed, MNB is one of the UK's most experienced manufacturers in manufacturing oil tools out of beryllium copper. To date, more than 1000 subs manufactured out of beryllium copper have been delivered to one of our major customers, and monthly production rates continue to increase.
