About Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Spring Steel, and Cast Iron

Low-Carbon Steel Sheets and Bars

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.

Tight-Tolerance Low-Carbon Steel Bars

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

Zinc-Galvanized Low-Carbon Steel Sheets and Bars

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

Nickel-Coated Low-Carbon Steel Bars

In addition to good corrosion resistance, the nickel coating provides better wear resistance than the zinc-galvanized coating.

Low-Carbon Steel Bars with Rounded Edges

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.

Mold- and Mildew-Resistant Low-Carbon Steel Sheets

A silver-filled resin coating on one side of these sheets protects from degradation caused by bacteria and fungi.

Low-Carbon Steel Rectangular Tubes

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.

Ultra-Machinable 12L14 Carbon Steel Bars

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.

Easy-to-Machine 1215 Carbon Steel Bars

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.

Shims

Shim Stock

Cut this stock into custom shapes to fit your application.

Shim Stock Sets

Keep shim stock in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets. Cut into custom shapes to fit your application.

Peel-Away Layered Shim Stock

Cut this shim stock into custom shapes to fit your application. Stock is made of layers of material bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need.

Made-to-Order Shims

Send us a drawing, and we'll cut your custom shim.

Steel Perforated Sheets

Use thesee sheets for machine guards and protective panels in noncorrosive environments.

High-Flow Steel Perforated Sheets

Hexagonal holes provide a large open area for high-flow applications.

Metal Panels

Close off openings in structures while allowing air to pass through.
