Materials & Industry Applications

Lock-Ridge Tool machines a variety of metals and specialty alloys to support high-performance industries.

Aluminum &
Stainless Steel

Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum is widely used in aerospace frames, electronic housings, and medical devices.

Stainless steel offers strength and clean finishes, making it ideal for surgical instruments, aircraft components, and high-end consumer products.

Titanium & Inconel

Titanium combines high strength with low weight and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it a vital material in aerospace, defense, and high-performance automotive applications.

Inconel, a nickel-based superalloy, withstands extreme heat and pressure. It is ideal for jet engine components, exhaust systems, and other applications requiring high temperatures.

Carbon & Alloy Steels

Known for strength and durability, carbon and alloy steels are the backbone of industrial and structural applications.

We machine these materials into drivetrain parts, structural supports, brackets, and custom hardware for automotive, construction, and heavy equipment industries.

Copper & Brass

These conductive materials are ideal for precision electrical components, terminals, and contacts.

Brass also machines cleanly and resists corrosion, making it well-suited for fluid-handling systems, consumer electronics, and decorative hardware.
