Automotive
Quenched and tempered steels are a good fit for the automobile markets’ preference for lighter and smaller elements.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
WHEELS, GEAR SHAFTS, SUSPENSION ARMS.
Agriculture
High Peak Steels stock a range of bright steels for use in farming and agriculture, due to their anti-corrosive properties.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, HYDRAULIC ARMS, MECHANICAL COMPONENTS.
Aerospace
Our range of nitriding steels are ideally suited for use in the Aerospace industry.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
FUEL TANKS, EXHAUST COMPONENT AND HIGH TEMPERATURE ENGINE AND STRUCTURAL PARTS.
Rail
HPS offer a range of steels which are resistant to corrosion, easily fabricated, or offer good mechanical properties which are vital to withstanding the stresses these materials are under in the rail environment.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
carriage door skins, carriage chassis, valves, structural components and track components.
Printing
The printing equipment OEMs typically use our vast range of medium carbon steels to manufacture rollers for the paper industry and for presses used for printing cloth for the textile industry.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Rollers, textile printing.
Oil & Gas
The Oil & Gas industry is one of the most critical environments for performance materials. HPS understand that there can be no compromise so select only the highest quality steel from leading mills worldwide. Steels containing nickel, chromium, molybdenum and carbon are mainly used in moving parts, where safety and reliability are vital.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Valves, flanges, drill heads, flowlines, fuel tanks, manifolds, heat exchangers and structural components. OCTG, platforms and pipelines.
Renewables
High performance steels for environments where access can be difficult and expensive is essential. With high strength bearing, along with high quality steel we have materials ideal for gearing used in wind turbines.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
wind turbines.
Materials handling
Low maintenance, agility and efficiency of machines is key in materials handling. We deliver steels that are stronger, lighter and offer greater wear resistance. Our vast range of stock sizes offers customers in the materials handling industry materials for almost all applications. Ideal for handling equipment needed for the food to the packaging.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Axles and parts for conveying, chassis and driveline components.
Lifting & excavation
Supplying materials designed to withstand the stress and strain, as well as wear and tear which comes from the punishing environment of lifting and excavating is a market HPS are highly experienced in. Often referred to as ‘yellow goods’ our team can advise on the best material grades for your application.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Hydraulic arms and mechanical components.
Construction
We provide a range of steels where surface hardness and smooth surface finish is key for external construction applications; using a qualitative measure of surface finish and roughness values Ra in microns to ensure the steel grades provide the correct support and structure for each application.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Nuts, bolts, specialist drills, reinforcing bar, lintels, roofing and support structures.
Mining
Extra performance where fatigue, strength or wear resistance is important keeps HPS steels heavily involved in mining throughout the world. We supply material for drill rigs offshore and onshore, as well as mining support equipment, rock drilling and breakers.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Flanges, supports, gears, shafts and specialised drilling heads.
British defence
High Peak Steels continue to research and invest in new performance engineering steel products, keeping us at the leading edge for British defence applications.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Parts for aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, armour plating for vehicles and field artillery equipment.
Transport
From Road to Rail, Air to Sea, HPS are committed to supporting the development of the nation’s infrastructure with our range of steel grades. We supply a range of engineering steels that go into commercial and domestic transportation throughout the UK.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Parts for automotive, aerospace, railways and shipping for manufacture of gears, shafts, studs, pistons, and other engine parts.
Truck & Bus
With the ever changing infrastructure and development of the automotive industry, you find engineering steels that are designed to have certain specific levels of elasticity, strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Wheel studs and hubs, gears, shafts, trailers, and engine parts.
Yellow Goods
HPS have an extensive range of grades available for yellow goods manufacturing. These grades are specifically suited to heavy equipment such as cranes, diggers, fork lift trucks, bulldozers and front end loaders.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Heavy duty gears, heavy duty worms, heavy roller bearings, breech mechanisms, arms components, camshafts, clutch plates, valve rockers.
