Other alloys
LBI works with standardised alloys according to international norms (MAS, BS, DIN, EN, WNr, etc.) but also works on alloys specifically developed to meet the needs and demands of our customers. We can offer you specific alloys responding to the problems of corrosion resistance, resistance to friction, work in extreme temperature conditions, etc. LBI regularly casts other special alloys such as super alloys and nickel based alloys (NiCu, NiCrMo,…).
