This wire bounces back after bending. Often used to construct springs and wire rope, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

PTFE-coated wire has a slippery surface, so it’s especially useful as a fish wire when navigating through confined spaces.

Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Rods and Discs

Color: White
Temperature Range: See table
Tensile Strength: See table (Poor)
Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
Hardness: See table (Medium Soft)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: See table

These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastics 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.
