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.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 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.

13-8 PH stainless steel can be hardened at lower temperatures than other heat-treatable types of stainless steel. It is widely used for fittings, pins, and lock washers.

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.

With a thickness that's precision ground to a tight tolerance, these bars are sometimes called flat stock.

Also known as flat stock, the thickness on these sheets and bars is held to a tight tolerance.

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.

These sheets and bars are precision ground to a tight thickness tolerance.

These precision-ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance.

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.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

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

Often used for terminal boards, electrical housings, end plates, and structural components in high temperatures, these sheets are a flame-retardant version of Garolite G-11. All are stronger and resist heat better than Garolite G-10/FR4.

In addition to having good resistance to water, sunlight, and oxidation, these neoprene foam sheets and strips resist swelling when they come into contact with oil.

Because this natural rubber foam readily bounces back to shape after compression, it’s a good choice for repetitive sealing applications, such as on doors.

Made from a blend of Buna-N, neoprene, and vinyl, these foam strips have good resistance to oil.

These sheets provide stable torque at high and low speeds.

With a high maximum coefficient of friction, these sheets provide immediate engagement.
