Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

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.

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

One of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating, 440C offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance. It's often used for bearings, valves, and knife blades.

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.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Ductile cast iron is strong, resilient, and able to handle repeated stress without breaking.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Furnished hardened, P20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine. It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long-lasting molds and dies.

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

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.

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.

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.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear 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.

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.

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

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.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

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

Also called Pyrex and Schott glass, these glass rods and discs resist clouding and pitting and are highly chemical and heat resistant.

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.

Use these foam half rounds as a cushioning bumper.
