Nuclear Metal Suppliers

Structural alloys for nuclear reactors and alloys for nuclear material storage are exposed to high stress, temperatures, corrosion and irradiation. They must have high strength, corrosion resistance and irradiation resistance, as well as microstructural stability through these high temperatures. All Metal Services is a metals supplier to the nuclear industry worldwide, providing optimum metal alloys for use in nuclear components.

Supplying and Machining Metals to the Nuclear Industry

A ready supply of durable metals is invaluable in the global nuclear industry. All Metal Services supplies nuclear metals and corrosion-resistant alloys for use in nuclear systems around the world.

We provide CNC machining, waterjet cutting, plate saws and bar saws, and our metal cutting services can manufacture metals in virtually any shape, including extrusions and flat profiles, to extremely tight tolerances.

A Range Of Alloys And Materials For Nuclear Construction

Our steel and nickel alloys for nuclear components are available in plate and bar forms. The following alloys are the most appropriate materials for nuclear components that we supply.

Further stainless steel sheet products and nickel alloy products are listed on our product pages for you to browse and find what you need.

Stainless Steel Sheet & Tube 304 (AMS5566)

We supply stainless steel type 304 in sheet, plate and tube. Type 304 stainless steel is an austenitic nickel alloy with a low carbon content, with good strength and oxidation resistance for use in nuclear components.

Stainless Steel 17-4PH (AMS5604)

Stainless steel 17-4 PH is available in sheet, plate, tube and bar. This ferrous chromium-nickel-copper alloy has high strength, toughness and weldability. Its corrosion resistance is the highest among all standard hardenable stainless steels. Similar to type 304, 17-4PH can be heat treated for hardening before use in nuclear component construction.

Stainless Steel Sheet & Tube 321 (AMS5510)

We supply 321 stainless steel stabilised with titanium and carbon, providing resistance to carbide precipitation at high temperatures.

Stainless Steel Bar Nitronic 60 (AMS 5848)

Combining superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, this alloy has higher corrosion resistance than type 304 and is highly suitable for use in elevated temperatures. Nitronic 60 has low magnetic properties when cooled.

Nickel Bar Alloy 625 (Inconel® 625, AMS5666)

A nickel-chromium alloy bar developed for corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength, perfect for use in nuclear components. Alloy 625 is highly resistant to oxidation and carburisation effects with superior fatigue strength and weldability, as well as excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance.

Quality

Certified Quality Nuclear Metals

We hold and provide certifications and paperwork for all of our stock to a high standard. Our nuclear component metals and materials are:

fully traceable back to the manufacturing mill
identified and certified in accordance with specifications

We perform in-house hardness and conductivity testing at selected sites where required.

Our sites worldwide are approved to standards ISO 9001:2015 and AS9120. Selected sites hold extra approval of AS9100.

Experience

Industry Experience In Nuclear Supplies

As we work with both state and private contracts, our team members are trained to apply HMRC export licensing requirements where required. We also train staff to recognise embargoed nations and potentially counterfeit materials.

All required licenses for the export of our standard products are currently held and up to date. Where bespoke metal products are ordered for export, we are equipped with the knowledge and experience to apply for licenses short term.
