Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

1117 carbon steel responds to surface-hardening heat treatment better than other easy-to-machine carbon steels. Use it to fabricate shaft couplings, studs, pins, and universal joints.

The chrome plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 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.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. It’s used for parts such as bearings, bushings, and punches.

While the low carbon content makes 8620 alloy steel easy-to-weld, it's the nickel, chromium, and molybdenum content that provides wear resistance.

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

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

These rods and discs are precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 6061 rods and discs.

As the strongest multipurpose aluminum we offer, 6013 aluminum has the same good corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability as 6061 with increased strength. 6013 is often fabricated into high-stress machine parts.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

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.

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

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

Known for its ability to resist stress cracking and fatigue, 544 bronze also offers good formability and excellent machinability. It's commonly called phosphor bronze.

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.

For a good combination of strength, machinability, and weldability, choose 955 bronze.

Because Grade 2 titanium is 99% pure, it is more corrosion resistant than Grades 5 and 9 but not as strong. It has good formability and weldability. Common uses include chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and marine hardware.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

A silicone additive gives this material a self-lubricating surface that reduces friction and extends the life of your parts.

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

Use these cast nylon 6 rods to make sheaves, bushings, and pulleys. All withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 rods.

This material suppresses static charges to prevent dust from building up.

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

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

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.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

Often used to create prototype components, these ceramic rods and discs come semi-fired so they can be machined using conventional metalworking tools.

Able to withstand temperatures up to 2100° F, this quartz glass is useful in high-temperature applications that also require optical clarity, such as high-intensity lighting, fiber-optic production, and optical lens systems.

The cylindrical shape fits into channels and other narrow spaces for sealing and cushioning.
