More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

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.

Also known as flat stock, these sheets and bars are precision ground on the top and bottom.

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

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.

These rods are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

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.

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.

Made of stiff low-carbon steel to deflect less under load, these H-bars are commonly used in machine bases, construction, platforms, and frames.

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.

This UHSS (ultra high-strength steel) allows you to fabricate high-strength parts using thinner material than you could with other types of steel. It is formable, weldable, and more economical than alloy steel.

Exceptional hardness makes AR500 carbon steel more resistant to wear and impact than other carbon steel.

Even in low temperatures, A516 carbon steel resists breaking upon impact. Also known as pressure-vessel-quality (PVQ) steel, it is mostly used for boilers, storage tanks, and pressure vessels.

Because the thickness is oversized, you can finish these bars to your exact requirements.

The thickness is oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content for good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

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

Combining strength with weldability and formability, A572 alloy steel is an economical choice for structural components, such as channels, beams, and framing. It has a low carbon content, making it easy to weld with a variety of welding methods.

Also known as weathering steel, this high-strength steel develops a thin layer of rust over time in outdoor environments that protects the inner steel from corrosion.

A vacuum arc remelting (VAR) casting process gives 9310 superior strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance over other types of alloy steel. It's often machined into heavy duty gears, clutch parts, and ratchets.

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

Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

Offering outstanding resistance to surface wear and corrosion, Nitronic 60 stainless steel is often used for shafts, fasteners, and valves.

This material is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 316 stainless steel.

2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress, corrosive chemicals, and heat. Also known as duplex stainless steel, it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel. Use it for high-pressure applications in caustic environments.

Each piece is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

13-8 PH stainless steel can be hardened at lower temperatures than other heat-treatable types of stainless steel. It is widely used for fittings, pins, and lock washers.

One of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating, 440C offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance. It's often used for bearings, valves, and knife blades.

Precision ground on the top and bottom to a tight tolerance.

The addition of vanadium and carbon gives 420V stainless steel excellent wear resistance. It can replace tool steel in highly abrasive applications.

With excellent strength and wear resistance, S30V stainless steel is a preferred material for knives and cutlery.

309/310 stainless steel has high levels of chromium and nickel to provide good corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. It's often used in heat exchangers and furnaces.

Make plates for offshore drilling platforms, water boxes, valves, and other marine equipment that withstands salt water. Also known as cupro nickel, these copper nickel sheets resist rusting better than stainless steel.
