2011 has the best machinability of all the aluminum alloys. It is the most selected aluminum for screws, tube fittings, hose parts, and other items that require extensive machining.

A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity.

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.

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