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.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Commonly called silicon-bronze, 655 bronze contains more silicon than other bronze alloys, making it suitable for all types of welding.

The addition of nickel gives 630 bronze high strength. It is also called aluminum-nickel-bronze.

Also known as leaded commercial bronze, 316 contains lead for good machinability.

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.

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.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

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.

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Also known as trapezoidal-thread lead screws and nuts.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

Brass threaded rods are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic.

Often called sleeve nuts, these thread adapters fasten parts with right-hand threads to parts with left-hand threads.

Increase or decrease metric thread size from one male-threaded part to another. Commonly used to connect two differently sized threaded rods, they have a hex-shaped body, so you can tighten them with a standard wrench.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

A fluorescent orange handle makes these retrievers stand out, so they’re less likely to be misplaced.
