Metal Associates is an exclusive waveguide distributor for copper and bronze manufacturers in the USA. We are also an exclusive waveguide tube distributor for an aluminum manufacturing mill that is located in the UK.
Waveguides can be used to guide any particular type of wave such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves or radio waves. Particular waveguides are purchased to suite the type of wave characteristic in order to efficiently control the waves. The most common type of waveguide is constructed from a hollow pipe.
Waveguides can be manufactured from dielectric or conductive materials depending on the wave frequency. In some situations, waveguides are used to transfer communication signals, as well as power. There are a number of ways Metal Associates can create your waveguide solutions. Waveguides are created using electro-forming, dip-brazing, electronic discharge machining, CNC machining and more.
Metal Associates also offers Rigid Waveguide Tubes including rectangular, circular and double ridge waveguides. Our square waveguides can be manufactured in the range from Q41 to Q130. We also supply non-standard types as listed below including T6 hardened waveguides in a variety of standard materials such as Copper, Bronze, Brass, Aluminum, Nickel Iron, and more.* (see * on webpage)

Steel and Stainless Steel
Metal Associates can fulfill its customer’s steel and stainless steel needs from steel tubing and steel pipes to custom steel forming. Stainless steel is a common and versatile metal that does not stain, corrode or rust easily. It is also known as corrosion resistant steel or chromium steel, and is alloyed with a minimum of 10% chromium. Regular steel often contains smaller amounts of chromium to enhance properties of strength and hardness, but stainless steel has the something extra that makes it non-marking and just as strong and durable as steel. Austenitic Stainless Steel has the highest ratio of chromium, and is by far the most common type. Stainless steel is produced in over a hundred different grades, which differ depending on their alloys, strengths, temperature resistances and applications.
Whatever the application, let Metal Associates be your next steel and stainless steel suppliers.
