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.

Made of 1000 series aluminum which is 99% pure, this aluminum offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. It's frequently fabricated into raceways, decorative trim, and other parts where strength and hardness are not required.

Bend this wire and it will stay put. It’s frequently used as tying wire and locking wire.

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

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.

440A stainless steel resists damage from impact and abrasion. It's often used for cutlery and valve components.

Also known as scaleless steel.

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

Use this nickel-iron-cobalt alloy as a magnetic shield to protect electronic equipment from EMI/RFI interference.

Because Invar 36 holds its size and shape when temperatures rise, these nickel-iron alloy sheets are the go-to material when dimensional stability is required. They are commonly used when precision is a priority, such as for scientific instruments and optical devices.

Since it’s thin and easy to cut, as well as highly conductive and corrosion resistant, this 99.99% pure gold foil is often used to plate electrical connectors that are exposed to the air.

Cut this stock into custom shapes to fit your application.

This shim stock is color coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application.

The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery.

Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners and shafts with these shims.

For a snug fit around a shaft, the ID of these shims is held to a tighter tolerance than other round shims.

Slide these shims under the screw head to shorten the shoulder length.

Adjust spacing between bearings and other components on shafts. These shims are sized to fit the outer rim of a bearing.

These shims are shaped to fit over D-profile shafts. Use them to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing.

With three points of surface contact, these washers provide more stability than single-wave washers.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

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

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

Often used for packaging and construction applications, this film is also known as Visqueen.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

Laminate or mold this plastic film onto credit card signing screens, signs, and other surfaces for a see-through protective layer that won’t scratch.

Polyester absorbs almost no moisture and resists swelling in wet environments. It is also known as PET and PETE.

With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt.

Shield vents on electronic and automotive equipment, such as cell phone microphones, from water, dirt, and debris without blocking them entirely.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

These natural rubber sheets and strips will stretch up to six times their length. Use them in dynamic applications, such as vibration isolators and shock mounts.

The PTFE coating makes these fiberglass sheets nonstick and chemical resistant.

Pores allow for air circulation, so these sheets are often used in drying applications.

Made of indium, this foil is more thermally conductive than thermal interface materials (TIMs) made of plastic.
