    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Rods

    These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are an excellent electrical insulator. They are easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.

    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    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.
    316/316L Stainless Steel—Dual certified to meet both 316 and 316L requirements. The low carbon content makes this stainless steel easy to weld while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance.

    Drill, mill, and turn at high speeds without clogging your cutting tools. Alloyed with sulfur, 416 is the easiest type of stainless steel to machine. A good choice for gears, screws, and shafts, it won't wear down when it grinds against other metal parts. It also maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures as hot as 1200° F. However, it's not as corrosion resistant as other types of stainless steel, such as 304 and 17-4 PH.

    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    17-4 PH stainless steel combines the strength of 400 series stainless steel with the corrosion resistance of 300 series. This makes it fit for the most demanding applications—even storing and protecting nuclear waste. You can be confident it will stay corrosion resistant in temperatures as hot as 1100° F. Also known as 630 stainless steel.

    Ultra-Wear-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel Rods

    The high carbon content in this 440C stainless steel helps it withstand abrasion and wear better than any other stainless steel. Like tool steel, it can be heat treated to become extremely hard. It also maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 800° F. However, it’s more likely to break than bend from impacts. It’s often used to make bearings and valves.
