Materials We Work With

Aluminum

Aluminum is a cost effective option for a wide range of industries and applications, including medical, robotics, aerospace, and automotive.

  • Corrosion resistant
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Strength increases at subzero temperatures
  • Better electrical conductivity than copper
  • Holds paint well

J&D offers:

ALUMINUM 6061
ALUMINUM 7075

Stainless Steel

The chromium in stainless steel forms an invisible layer that protects stainless steel parts from water and air. This layer makes stainless steel rust-proof.

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Excellent durability
  • Self repairing surface
