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.

It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used in electrical applications, such as for bus bars and wire connectors, as well as for flashing, gaskets, and rivets.

A thin layer of titanium is bonded to these copper rods for long life and dimensional stability in corrosive environments.

Also called tellurium copper, 145 copper contains tellurium, which makes it more machinable than all other copper while maintaining good corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. It’s often used for transformer and circuit-breaker terminals, welding torch tips, and fasteners.

182 copper is stronger, harder, and more wear resistant than 110 copper. Also known as RWMA Class 2 chromium copper, it's commonly used in resistance welding, for circuit-breaker parts, and for molds to make plastic parts.

From fasteners to ferrules to fittings—machine these rods into parts that stand up to salt water. Made of copper nickel, also called cupro nickel, they resist rusting better than stainless steel.

Rated RWMA Class 4, 172 beryllium copper is the strongest beryllium copper alloy that is also electrically conductive and extremely wear resistant. It’s often used in inserts, die facings, and molds for plastic that need to withstand stress over repeated use.

These 17510 beryllium copper rods are not only conductive, but also non-sparking and non-magnetic, making them suitable for mines, oil rigs, and navigational tools.

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

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

Commonly called silicon-bronze, 655 bronze contains more silicon than other bronze alloys, making it suitable for all types of welding.

A low-lead alternative to 316 bronze, 642 bronze is just as machinable with higher strength. It is also called aluminum-silicon-bronze.

Also known as leaded commercial bronze, 316 contains lead for good machinability.

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Also known as trapezoidal-thread lead screws and nuts.

Brass threaded rods are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic.

Bronze threaded rods are stronger and more resistant to salt water than brass rods.

The pointed tip is best for tight areas or for a small weld.

The flat tip creates a larger weld and can be used when appearance is less important.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with precision extreme-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Also called close nipples, these Schedule 40 nipples are threaded on both ends to the center.

A fluorescent orange handle makes these retrievers stand out, so they’re less likely to be misplaced.
