How can we improve?

599 Products

Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Copper

The most conductive of our metals, it excels in all types of electrical applications

Brass

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

Tungsten

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

Titanium

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

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Garolite

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

Ceramic

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

Carbon Fiber

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

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel that withstands harsh chemicals and acids at high temperatures

Rubber

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

Graphite

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

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Molybdenum

Retains its shape and strength in extreme temperatures and conducts heat and electricity

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Niobium

Conductive, corrosion resistant, and strong, even at extremely high and low temperatures

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

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

Dowel Pin Stock

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut to the length you need for positioning and holding parts in place

Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes

Flux coated for stability and speed when welding most metals

Hot Air Welding Rods

Hot Air Welding Rods

Melt with heat from a welder to create joints between pieces of plastic

TIG Welding Rods

TIG Welding Rods

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

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
