One of the most corrosion-resistant types of stainless steel, 316 stands up to the harshest chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. It's a step up from 304, which has similar strength and temperature performance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.

Also known as flat stock, the thickness on these sheets is held to a tight tolerance. They are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Made from versatile alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly steel, these sheets resist fracturing from repeated stress. They’re used for a wide range of parts, including molds and structural supports.

Note: Sheets may be made from either 4140 or 4142 alloy steel. They are interchangeable in most applications.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as molds and structural supports. It resists fracturing from repeated stress. You can also surface harden it with heat to add wear resistance.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel. Bars have close tolerances on the thickness and the width.

Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.

Sometimes called flat stock, these bars have a thickness and width that are precision ground to a tight tolerance. They’re low-carbon steel, also known as mild steel, which is easy to machine, form, and weld. Use them for fabricating parts that don’t require high strength, such as fixture clamps and mounting plates. For added wear resistance, the surface can be hardened with heat treating.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. These bars are used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts, such as shaft couplings, studs, and pins. For added wear resistance, they can be surface hardened with heat treating.

With the highest lead content, 360 is the easiest brass alloy to machine. Known as free-machining and free-cutting brass, it handles high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping with minimal wear on your tools. You’ll often see it made into gears, pinions, and lock components.

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, such as fixture clamps and mounting plates.
