The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content for good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Harder than our other 304 stainless steel, these thin sheets offer better wear resistance for use as a wrap, liner, or cover.

Use 430 stainless steel in decorative and light structural applications, rather than outdoors or in extreme temperatures.

This material is hardened for increased wear resistance over standard 420 stainless steel.

With a higher chromium content than 15-5 PH stainless steel, this high-strength 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance. It is also known as 630 stainless steel.

The titanium content of 321 stainless steel preserves corrosion resistance around weld points.

With 99.99% copper content, 101 copper has higher purity than 110 copper, resulting in superior electrical conductivity. It's commonly called OFE and OFHC copper. Use it in electrical applications, such as for coaxial cables and terminal lugs.

Because 510 bronze is very strong and formable, it is the best choice for applications involving repetitive motion, such as springs and bellows.

Even in temperatures up to 2000° F, Alloy X nickel sheets offer good strength and weldability, along with excellent oxidation resistance. They're often used for components in gas turbine engines and furnaces. This material is equivalent to Inconel HX and Hastelloy X.

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

One of the few known materials that both draw heat away from hot spots and block electrical currents, aluminum nitride ceramic sheets are great for heat sinks and other electronic components.

Also known as fishpaper.
