Hardened High-Speed M42 Tool Steel
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C65 (Very Hard)
Also known as cobalt steel, this M42 tool steel maintains its hardness in high-speed cutting applications that generate intense heat. Use it to make tools for cutting extremely hard materials.

High-Temperature Ultra-Dense Tungsten Rods
- Maximum Temperature: 2,300° F
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C35 (Hard)
- Temper Rating: Not Rated
Ultra dense for use as electrodes, furnace support pillars, and screws and bolts, these chemically pure tungsten rods withstand greater heat than other high-temperature metal, such as molybdenum. You can also use them in applications where voltage increases may cause temperature spikes that other metal can’t handle. These rods won’t deform in high heat, so they last longer than other metal. However, they’re harder to machine than more ductile tungsten alloys. These rods won’t corrode from chemicals or weather.

Dowel Pins
Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. For a tight fit, your hole should be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter shown. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.
Steel pins are the strongest dowel pins. Steel pins are precision ground except for 1/32" diameter pins. Stainless steel pins are more corrosion resistant than steel pins. Stainless steel pins are precision ground except for 1/64" diameter pins. 18-8 stainless steel pins offer a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. They may be mildly magnetic.

Brazing Alloys
Use these brazing alloys with a variety of metals.
Alloys without cadmium are safer to use than brazing alloys with cadmium and help meet industry regulations.
BAg-1 and BAg-5 alloys are for most general purpose applications. They contain silver, which produces a smoother flow when melted to create a stronger joint than RBCuZn-C.
High-Strength Brazing Alloys
Create stronger bonds than standard brazing alloys.
Brazing alloys without cadmium are safer than brazing alloys that contain cadmium and help meet industry regulations.

Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps
When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard brazing alloys. They don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium and help you meet industry regulations.
BAg-36 alloys are often used in the piping and automotive industry.
