Specialist Drilling for Demanding Materials
LDC Engineering Ltd offers deep hole drilling services for a wide range of materials, including tough and technically demanding metals such as duplex and stainless steel. These materials are commonly used in industries like oil and gas, medical, and nuclear — all areas where LDC has an established presence. With purpose-built machinery and experienced engineers, LDC delivers reliable results even on components that require high accuracy through challenging material types.
In-House Capability for Duplex and Stainless Steel
The company’s in-house deep hole drilling service is designed to handle high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials without compromising on precision. Duplex and stainless steels require specific tooling, correct feed rates, and machine stability to avoid distortion or tool wear. LDC’s dedicated setup ensures that each part is machined to specification using equipment optimised for these applications, including:
- Deep hole drilling up to 68mm diameter and 2 metres in length
- Gun drilling up to 4 metres for smaller diameters
- Accurate and consistent drilling through dense or alloyed materials
Suitable for a Wide Range of Component Types
LDC Engineering works with components that require deep holes for fluid, gas, or temperature control applications. Their ability to manage both straightforward and multi-level hole arrangements allows them to support a wide range of industries and engineering requirements.
Integrated with Other Machining Services
In addition to deep hole drilling, LDC also provides gun drilling, CNC milling, CNC turning, radial drilling, and surface grinding. These services are all managed in-house, allowing projects involving duplex or stainless steel to be fully machined, drilled, and finished within one facility. This integrated approach helps reduce turnaround times and gives clients greater process control.
