Materials
Composidie works with numerous advanced materials to meet the demands of high-volume, precision manufacturing. From aluminum to titanium, our in-house teams select the right material for the right process, whether it’s high-speed stamping, reel-to-reel plating, or precision machining, delivering consistent results built for real-world production. Selecting the right metal stamping materials early is what determines formability, tool life, and how well a finish adheres.
Offering the Materials You Need
From soft metals to hardened alloys, Composidie works with materials engineered to meet the demands of real-world production. We select each material for its compatibility with high-speed stamping, precision machining, or reel-to-reel plating, matched with process design that ensures consistency at scale.
We support production across materials like:
- Aluminum
- Carbide
- Ceramics
- Compact Powder Metals
- Inconel
- Magnesium
- Precious Metal Alloys
- Stainless Steel
- Titanium
- Tool Steel
Whether your application calls for carbide stamping tools or reel-to-reel electroplating, we tailor the process and the material to meet your exacting requirements.
The Right Material for Every Process
Each material comes with its own strengths and challenges. That’s why our manufacturing teams pair each material with the right tooling, process controls, and equipment setup for every job. Whatever the material, we maintain throughput and precision at scale.
Aluminum High-Speed Stamping Plus So Much More
Aluminum high-speed stamping is just the start of what we offer. Our presses handle volume, and our carbide stamping tools extend tool life across long production runs, especially when working with harder alloys like Inconel or tool steel. We stamp materials like:
- Aluminum
- Carbide
- Ceramics
- Compact Powder Metals
- Inconel
- Magnesium
- Precious Metal Alloys
- Stainless Steel
- Titanium
- Tool Steel
Inconcel Precision Machining and More
Our services include Inconel precision machining. Tight tolerances and fine finishes are essential for engineered materials. Our in-house machining capabilities allow us to control surface finishes, critical dimensions, and part geometry, all without adding delays to your production schedule. The list of materials we precision machine includes:
- Aluminum
- Carbide
- Ceramics
- Compact Powder Metals
- Inconcel
- Magnesium
- Precious Metal Alloys
- Stainless Steel
- Titanium
- Tool Steels
Gold Reel-to-Reel Plating for Starters
We support gold reel-to-reel plating, as well as electroplating for numerous other conductive materials. Our plating lines apply finishes selectively or across the full surface, with consistent adhesion and controlled thickness. We plate materials such as:
- Copper
- Durable Silver
- Hard Gold
- Electrolytic Nickel-Phosphorus
- Indium
- Nickel
- Nickel-Cobalt
- Palladium
- Palladium-Nickel (80/20)
- Pure Silver
- Pure Tin
- Silver-Tin Alloy (80/20)
- Soft Gold
- Tin-Lead
Steel Progressive Stamping Tools, as One Example
Every material behaves differently in the die. We design and build steel progressive stamping tools, among others, that account for each material’s mechanical characteristics, whether it’s springback in stainless or wear resistance in carbide stamping tools. By matching tool geometry to the material, we maintain dimensional accuracy and lower scrap rates.
Support That Starts With Material Choice
Choosing the right material is a design decision, but it also impacts tooling, production speed, and long-term performance. That’s why our engineers work with your team during material selection to align every choice with real production outcomes.
Whether you’re weighing the cost-performance tradeoffs of aluminum vs. magnesium or evaluating titanium for its strength-to-weight ratio, we bring decades of hands-on manufacturing experience to the table.
The Composidie team helps you understand how each material performs in high-speed stamping, precision machining, and reel-to-reel electroplating environments. Our insight into tool wear, feed direction, plating behavior, and downstream handling helps you avoid costly revisions later.
Built for the Demands of Your Industry
Composidie’s material capabilities support production across sectors where precision and repeatability are mission-critical. From lightweight aluminum components in automotive systems to plated stainless steel connectors in medical devices, we match each material and process to the application.
We routinely support manufacturing teams in:
- Automotive – Options like lightweight stamped aluminum and magnesium parts, plated terminals, and electrical contacts
- Medical – Choices include stainless steel and titanium components requiring tight tolerances and controlled finishes
- Aerospace – Offerings such as precision-machined Inconel and tool steel for high-temperature environments
- Electronics – Options include reel-to-reel electroplating on copper and precious metal alloys for fine-pitch connectors
Industrial and Energy – Choices like ceramics and compact powder metals used in high-wear or corrosive environments
