Create molds for vacuum-forming and thermoforming applications. Metapor aluminum is porous to let air and moisture escape, which prevents bubbles and blemishes.

MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.

Made of 5083 aluminum, these cast tool and jig plates are more corrosion resistant and respond better to anodizing than MIC6. This material is comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 5.

Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, rollers, and bushings.

Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

Easier to machine without cracking than other impact-resistant ductile cast iron bars, these cast iron bars contain a high amount of ferrite. Use them to make cylinder and die blocks, rotary tables, and rail spacers.

Ductile cast iron is strong, resilient, and able to handle repeated stress without breaking.

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.

These rods are precision ground for a tight diameter tolerance of ±0.0005".

Precision ground on the top and bottom, these bars have a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002".

These bars are precision ground on the top and bottom for a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002".

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. The strength of this material increases with heat treating.

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

AMPCO® 18 is a premium aluminum-bronze alloy that combines strength with superior wear resistance.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated. These bars are a higher-strength alternative to tight-tolerance 954 bearing bronze bars.
