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.

Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

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.

These tubes are sized so that each tube fits into the next larger size.

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

Also known as black-annealed wire.

Often called 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.

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

Always have the right size wire on hand with a 72-piece assortment.

Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is often used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations.

This wire bounces back after bending. It’s often used to construct springs and wire rope.

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.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It's widely used as tying and locking wire.

With a higher chromium content than 15-5 PH stainless steel, this high-strength 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance. It is also known as 630 stainless steel.

This material is hardened for improved strength and wear resistance.

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

Hardened for superior wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.
