Across our four businesses we have three metallurgical laboratories where we alloy our own material, with in house metallurgists and furnace operators collaborating together across a suite of over twenty five electric induction furnaces. Every melt is analysed in real time in an on-site laboratory using a combination of Optical Emission spectrometry, X-ray spectrometry, LECO Carbon Sulphur analysis, ELTRA Oxygen and Nitrogen analysis, and Olympus in-depth microstructure analysis, to provide accurate metallic and non-metallic make up and equivalents so that every component is manufactured to an exacting in-house proprietorial target chemistry.
We have led the development of no-weld nickel aluminium bronze and copper nickel chrome for naval defence standard applications. Furthermore, we offer an unrivalled, critical design for manufacture (DfM) interface to support component manufacturability and programme risk management, and we are expert in the casting of over 400 complex alloys supported by coded and approved welding expertise. Westley Group supports its metal expertise with the management of rigorous material testing procedures, including 100% radiographic inspection, dye penetrant examination, eddy current testing and third party witness inspection.
Extensive facilities across two sites employing in excess of 100 people machining in excess of 6 million production minutes per year.
Very large spectrum of manual and CNC machines to accommodate machining of all materials to all sizes and tolerances.
Design and engineering services with 3D CAD solid and surface component modelling, including CAM facilities.
Metrology and surface finish measurement with fixed table and mobile capability.
Continuous multi-million pound strategic investment cycles.
Welding, assembly and testing facilities for all requirements.
