Materials

Rockford Specialties utilizes various types of metal materials to create welded components, including:

  • Plate Metal. Plate metal is a common type of raw material used in metal fabrication and can be used to produce a wide variety of parts.
  • Fittings. Fittings are standardized components used to enhance a product’s strength, functionality, and ease of fabrication.
  • Castings. Cast components are produced by pouring liquid metal into a mold and letting it cool into the desired shape. Common metals used for casting include magnesium, copper, silver, gold, stainless steel, steel, iron, or aluminum.
  • Formed and Expanded Metal. This material is made from stock sheet metal that has been sheared in a press. It is known for its interlinked strands of metal with diamond-shaped holes.
  • Hardware. Hardware can include various components such as wires, chains, latches, keys, locks, handles, and corners.
  • Sectional Metals. Sectional metals are commonly made of steel and come in a variety of standard shapes, including rods, bars, and I-beams.
  • Welding Wire. Welding wire consists of easily soldered metals that have been formed into thin rods. They aid in the welding process and can be melted to help bond two or more metal pieces together.
