Known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld, 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water. It's widely used for the bodies of boats, buses, trucks, and trailers, as well as for chemical drums.

Made of 1000 series aluminum which is 99% pure, this aluminum offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. It's frequently fabricated into raceways, decorative trim, and other parts where strength and hardness are not required.

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.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Use 430 stainless steel in decorative and light structural applications, rather than outdoors or in extreme temperatures.

Because these thin sheets are harder than our other 316 stainless steel, they offer better wear resistance. Use them as a wrap, liner, or cover.

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.

This material is hardened for increased wear resistance over standard 420 stainless steel.

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.

Since it’s thin and easy to cut, as well as highly conductive and corrosion resistant, this 99.99% pure gold foil is often used to plate electrical connectors that are exposed to the air.

Thin and easy-to-cut, this 99.95% pure molybdenum foil is often used in parts that process molten glass, heat shields in furnaces, and as filament supports in high-intensity light bulbs.
