309 Products

Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer, with very high strength relative to its weight

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Ceramic

Hard and wear resistant, it also withstands corrosion and high temperatures

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze for making nuts, hinges, and locks

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

TIG Welding Rods

TIG Welding Rods

Add extra metal while TIG welding to help flatten welds and hold workpieces together

Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes

Flux coated for stability and speed when welding most metals

Gas Welding Rods

Gas Welding Rods

Melt in extra metal while gas welding to help workpieces hold together

Brazing Alloys

Form stronger bonds between metal parts than solder without melting the base material

Power Transmission

Shafts

Transmit power, motion, and speed between machine components
