About Langley Alloys

Langley Alloys was created in 1938, with the objective of developing high-performance alloys for naval and aerospace applications. Our history includes the patent for the very first commercial super duplex stainless steel, Ferralium 255, and the invention of the highest-strength copper-nickel alloy Hiduron, now widely used in modern subsea applications.

These days we operate from specialist facilities in the UK and USA, where our comprehensive stockholding of bars, plate and pipes allows us to supply customers globally. And as the distribution partner for Sandvik and voestalpine BOHLER Edelstahl, we carry an extensive range of their stainless steels, duplex and super duplex stainless steels and nickel alloys. In fact, we like to call ourselves #thehomeofsuperduplex, reflecting our role in the development and focus on distributing the most complete range of these alloys.

Continued investment in our in-house inspection, testing and machining capabilities allow Langley Alloys to be your one-stop supplier of choice, saving you considerable cost, time and effort.

Therefore, when you have a requirement for high-performance alloys for demanding applications, let the knowledgeable Langley Alloys team take care of you.

Company History

Our manufacturing heritage dates back to 1938

Langley Alloys was founded in 1938 from the special copper alloys division of High Duty Alloys, and developed into a fully integrated metal production company on a site at Langley in West London. It grew steadily throughout the Second World War, following several successful alloy developments, including the high strength Naval alloy Hidurax Special and the copper bearing alloy, Hidurel® 5, which was a major engine bearing on the Spitfire aircraft.

During the 1970’s the company employed over 500 people in metals manufacture, which included casting, rolling, forging and fabrication, as well as a successful valve design and production division.

Over time the company relocated from its original site, and went through several name changes as parts of the business were separated.

Langley Alloys Today…

Elements of our proud history are still visible today, as Langley Alloys continues to supply a family of unique products for demanding applications, each with a proven track-record of application in the major defence, chemical, oil & gas and aerospace industries.

In more recent years, Langley Alloys has continued to focus on the distribution of corrosion resistant alloys alongside our proprietary products. The addition of sites in the United States provides global reach and the ability to support our customers wherever they are located.
