Mechanical properties

The materials that we use in our manufacturing procedure are Nickel and Nickel-Phosphorus.  These two materials carry many advantages, such as:

  • High level of hardness
  • Stainless material
  • Compatible with all manner of surface treatments (colouration, gilding)
  • Elastic capacity similar to that of spring steel
