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.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

The galvannealed coating allows these steel sheets to be painted without prepping the surface. They're easier to weld and more scratch resistant than zinc-galvanized steel sheets. Use them for outdoor signs, cabinets, and doors.

These sheets and bars are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's often fabricated into low-strength fasteners and fixture clamps.

Coated with PVC for corrosion resistance, this carbon steel wire will stand up to outdoor use.

Made with more carbon and manganese than other easy-to-machine carbon steels, 1144 carbon steel has a higher yield strength and hardness. Also known as Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

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 is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

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.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

This steel is nitrided, which involves the absorption of nitrogen, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that won’t flake or chip. It is comparable to NitroSteel.

Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Often called ETD-150, this modified alloy steel is drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength and machinability.

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.

Made from 4130 alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly steel, these rods have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used to make gears and bushings.

The surface of this 4130 alloy steel is hardened, so it resists impact and abrasion better than standard 4130 alloy steel. Also known as chrome-moly steel, it has a low carbon content for good weldability.

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

Higher levels of carbon and chromium make this 4150 alloy steel more wear-resistant than 4820 alloy steel. Also known as chrome-moly steel, it’s often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws.

While the low carbon content makes 8620 alloy steel easy-to-weld, it's the nickel, chromium, and molybdenum content that provides wear resistance.

Easier to machine than 52100 alloy steel rods, these extremely hard and wear-resistant tubes are often used to create bearings, bushings, and other cylindrical parts that are under constant stress. They’re also known as chrome steel.

Also known as music wire.

This wire is coated with oil for corrosion resistance and lubricity. Use it for bundling and as tag wire.

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.
