Metal products act as the "skeleton of marine engineering" and the “cornerstone of navigation safety” in the shipbuilding industry. They are widely used in key areas including hull structure, power systems, outfitting equipment, maintenance and renovation. Their performance directly affects a vessel's navigation safety, appearance quality, service life and operational economy. The shipbuilding industry imposes stringent requirements on metal materials, with particular emphasis on seawater corrosion resistance, anti-fouling and easy cleanability, high structural strength, and long-term stability in marine environments.
Highco Metal specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of metal products for the shipbuilding industry. Our main products include:
Anchors, anchor bow rollers, windlass structural parts, hatch door locking devices (dog handles), fuel filler cap assemblies, sea strainer bodies & covers, etc.
Gab rails/handles, canopy/bimini fittings& connectors, deck hinges, cleats, bollards, fishing rod holders, waterski tow pole, etc.
Turnbuckles, eye bolts & eye nuts, shackles, wire rope clamps, thimbles, swage terminals & fork terminals, pad eyes, snap hooks, clevises & toggles, etc.
Table Pedestal, captain chair base, fishing fighting chair, fishing battle stations, rocket launchers, helm chairs, bar stools, etc.
Special pipe fittings, pressure-resistant clamps, sealed joints, marine flanges, pipe supports, etc.
Core requirements for metal products in the shipbuilding industry focus on navigation-grade safety, marine aesthetic appearance, long-term corrosion resistance and full-life-cycle economy. We attach great importance to surface treatment technologies, adopting advanced processes such as mechanical polishing and electrolytic polishing to ensure products meet strict marine environmental requirements.
Commonly used marine metal materials include 316/316L stainless steel, 2205 duplex stainless steel, marine copper alloys, marine-grade aluminum alloys, etc. Highco Metal currently provides a full range of products made of 304, 316, 316L, 2205 duplex stainless steel, marine copper and aluminum alloys.
To meet the diversified needs of the shipbuilding industry, we have established a multi-process manufacturing system: base on precision casting(called investment casting or lost wax casting) and CNC machining, supplemented by advanced processes such as laser cutting, special welding, hydraulic forming and cold bending processing according to project requirements. We also provide professional surface treatment solutions including mirror polishing, electro polishing, passivation and special coatings, fully adapting to the service environments of different marine components.
Professional Design Support for Marine Engineering: We have an engineering team with experience in ship design, able to provide professional optimization suggestions in line with classification society standards based on customer drawings, ensuring products meet marine technical requirements.
Rapid Prototype Verification Service: Through strategic cooperation with leading domestic 3D printing enterprises, we can quickly produce functional prototypes and appearance models, significantly shortening the design verification cycle.
Marine-Grade Quality Control System: We have established multiple inspection procedures from material certification to finished product testing, strictly implementing quality standards of the shipbuilding industry to ensure product reliability and consistency.
Independent Manufacturing & Professional Collaboration Network: Core processes such as precision casting (called investment casting or lost wax casting), precision machining, welding and surface treatment are completed in our own factories; special processes are entrusted to certified long-term cooperative marine product manufacturers, forming a complete manufacturing ecosystem.
Flexible Order Response Mechanism: We support full-mode orders from single-piece trial production to mass production, with no minimum order quantity, adapting to the diversified needs of the shipbuilding industry.
Integrated Supply Capacity for Marine Supporting Parts: In addition to self-produced products, we integrate high-quality supply chains including marine screws, special rubber and plastics, marine-grade pipes and marine aluminum materials, providing customers with one-stop supporting procurement solutions.
Highco Metal is committed to providing safe, reliable and durable metal component solutions for the shipbuilding industry, helping customers build high-performance and high-quality marine equipment.
