We are continuously adding new materials to our offering, for the latest information or if you have a special request, please contact us.

Ferrous Alloys

  • Carbon Steels: Ideal for robust, generalโ€purpose applications, our carbon steel castings deliver excellent strength and machinability. We routinely produce components ranging from mild grades through to higherโ€carbon, wearโ€resistant variants.
  • Stainless Steels: Offering exceptional corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish, we can cast a full range of stainless grades.

ย 

Exotic & Superโ€Alloys


For the most demanding environmentsโ€”such as petrochemical, marine and power generationโ€”we work with:

    • Stelliteยฎ: Cobaltโ€based alloys renowned for extreme wear and temperature resistance
    • Duplex & Super Duplex Steels: Combining high strength with outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in chlorideโ€rich atmospheres
    • Titanium: Ultraโ€lightweight yet incredibly strong, perfect for aerospace, medical and highโ€performance engineering

ย 

Nonโ€‘Ferrous Alloys

  • Aluminium Alloys: Suitable for aerospace and bespoke engineering sectors, these castings are both lightweight and dimensionally precise.
  • Copper & Copper Alloys: From highโ€conductivity pure copper to specialised brasses and bronzes, our copper alloy castings excel in electrical, thermal and decorative applications.

A Valued Partnership

What sets Dean Group's apart as one of the leading metal foundries is our combination of traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Our investment in 3D printing for casting has vastly improved production turnarounds, providing clients with faster, more cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. Contact us today to discuss your project requirements.

FAQs

Yes, you can have bespoke materials upon request. Each job will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Dean Group are specialists in Steel & Stainless part manufacturing. Over the years we have developed into many materials to support our growing customer needs.

We offer investment casting process in the UK from our dedicated foundry based in Manchester. We also have offering abroad in Asia for many processes via many materials. For UK you can expect alloys such as Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Cobalt and other such alloys. Bespoke alloys upon request. All materials stated above are available with our Asia suppliers along with the addition of titanium & cast iron.

For both our UK and Asia foundries assuming you are able to accept our standard stocked materials then there wouldnโ€™t be a MOQ. If you require a unique material away from usual stocking, then there would be a MOQ applied. This will vary depending on material requirements.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum.
