This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel.
Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.
The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.
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.
One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.
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.
The thickness is oversized to allow for finishing to exact requirements.
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.
Substitute 7050 aluminum for 7075 in structural applications when high stress-corrosion resistance is required. It is the same material that's used for bulkheads and fuselage frames.
Designed for use as a production injection mold and blow mold, tk Ultra 7 is extremely strong with a hard surface and excellent thermal conductivity. It’s comparable to QC-10 aluminum.
MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.
Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as molds and structural supports. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.
Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as fixture clamps and mounting plates.
Sometimes called flat stock, these bars have a thickness and width that are precision ground to a tight tolerance.
Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.
The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.
A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It’s often used for jigs and fixtures.
With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.
The thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.
Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.
An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, this acetal copolymer offers similar wear resistance.
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.
Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.
Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.
This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
Add stiffness to composite sandwiches without adding a lot of weight.
Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.
A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.
