Ronald Britton supplies specialist metal and alloy powders from its Rochdale, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom, base. The company focuses exclusively on powders, rather than ingots, billets or other metal forms, and serves customers requiring laboratory quantities through to full industrial supply.
Its range includes copper, bronze, tin, aluminum and iron powders held in UK stock. The commercial offering also covers brass, silver, zinc, nickel and stainless steel powders, with standard and custom metal and alloy grades. Applications include diamond tools and abrasives, metal finishing and plating, brazing and soldering, additive manufacturing, cold casting, composites, and friction and braking systems.
Customers include manufacturers working with powder metallurgy, 3D printing companies, and businesses producing abrasive tools or friction components. The company also supplies markets including aerospace, defense and electronics. White-label supply and international export support with documentation form part of its offering, alongside the supply of powders for different production requirements.
Ronald Britton holds stock on-site and accepts orders from 1 kg, with stock dispatched within 48 hours. It is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Technical inquiries receive answers from staff with powder metallurgy knowledge. When a requested grade is outside its range, the company directs customers to another source, making grade availability and technical guidance part of its customer service.
