Specialist springs in nickel and cobalt alloys
Lee Spring have a world reputation for ex-stock springs and custom springs. Now for the Oil and Gas industries Lee Spring can offer high-performance exotic nickel or cobalt alloy custom products.
These are appropriate in conditions that would excessively stress normal steels - consequently nickel alloys such as Inconel 600, X-750 and 718, also Nimonic 90, Hastelloy C-276 and Monel 400 or K-500 are used. Parallel cobalt alloys include Elgiloy and MP35N.
These exotic alloys are oxidation/corrosion resistant in high-temperature, high-pressure environments where their high cost can be justified since quite simply nothing else will do.
Achievement of high-performance characteristics equates to hard won expertise in handling and machining processes which Lee Spring has gained through extensive experience in high-performing industries.
Lee Spring, supported by custom manufacturing within the UK, can offer customer support to the Oil and Gas exploration/production industries worldwide using these advanced but technically different materials - other alloys for less arduous specialist duty include Stainless 17-7 and 316, Phosphor Bronze and Beryllium Copper.
Further information on Lee Spring products can be found on their website www.leespring.co.uk.
