Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into low-strength fasteners, pins, and axles.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

For use in high heat, these rods and discs keep their strength in temperatures up to 800° F. They’re hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Made from 4130 alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly steel, these rods have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used to make gears and bushings.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

With an oversized diameter, these rods and discs let you finish to your exact requirements.

An oversized diameter on these rods allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

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

With a higher chromium content than 15-5 PH stainless steel, this high-strength 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance. It is also known as 630 stainless steel.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

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.

Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.

With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

AMPCO® 18 is a premium aluminum-bronze alloy that combines strength with superior wear resistance.

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

This oil-filled material is self-lubricating for an extra-slippery surface.

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.
