| History | |
Wilbury
Metals Ltd was founded in 1991. Specialising in the trade of refractory
metals to smelters across the North of England the business was slowly
built up and after several years of growth the requirement for larger
premises became ever more pressing resulting in the company moving
to its current location in Northwich where it now employs four people.

All
products are fully certified from quality assured sources and where
applicable covered by our ISO 9002 approval with lot traceabiliy.
|
| Market |
We
trade primarily across Western Europe and the US catering to the

Metals:
| Molybdenum (Mo) |
Molybdenum Mo is derived from the principal ore Molybdenite MoS2. Molybdenum is used primarily for hardening of steel and iron although it has many other applications for improving performance in aggressive and high temperature environments. We deal with large volumes of Molybdenum and always have sheets and plates in stock ranging between 99.8 - 99.955% purity and offer a quick turnaround. |
| Tungsten (W) |
Tungsten W is derived from Wolframite (Fe,MnWO4). Tungsten is used in the filament industry for lamps and electronic contacts, for hardening metals and as a dry high-temperature lubricant. We sell Tungsten as gauze, foil and bars, and can source regular and plated wire to a range of certified purities. We actively trade across a network of sources so that we can offer you, the customer, the best price and the best service. |
| Tantalum (Ta) |
Tantalum Ta can be found in Columbite, and Tantalite. Tantalum is used for medical applications because it's biologically inert, is the latest material for capacitors in integrated circuits and is used to improve structural integrity in turbine blades. We have good sources for new and recovered tantalum which we supply as ingots or scrap. |
| Chromium (Cr) |
Chromium Cr is found in chromite ore. Chromium is widely used in the refractory industry for kiln, furnace and incinerator bricks. Chromium is also used to plate alloys for wear and corrosion protection, and to increase electrical resistance in superalloys. We have excellent contacts with industrial users of pure chromium and are often able to secure very good deals. |
| Niobium (Nb) |
Niobium Nb is found in Niobite. Niobium has widespread applications across the electrical and electronics sectors where it is used for capacitors, high powered magnets and for sodium vapor lamps. We supply niobium foil, sheet and wire with full traceability where required. |
| Form |
We can supply certified high grade refractory metal directly from source by the ton or kilogram in either ingot, foil, sheet, plate, wire or rod. We also supply refined scrap prepared for either vacuum or air melting. We supply high purity powders for the welding industry including tungsten and molybdenum, please call for further information. |

Markets:
| Vacuum Smelters |
Wilbury
Metals supply refractory metals to vacuum smelters who in turn supply
the superalloy industries, companies that sinter or smelt metals
down primarily for the production of superalloy's and high specification
components. The final market sectors include the aerospace and medical
industries.
|
| Welding |
We
supply refractory metal powders to the welding industry where they
are used for either welding electrodes or wire. A typical application
would include the welding of a superalloy based gas turbine for the
aviation or power industries
|
| Traders |
We
buy raw and processed metal from primary producers and as scrap,
and sell to a range of end users across the Western European and
North American markets. We also carry out inter merchant trading.
