With a minimum of 10% chromium content, stainless steel is known for corrosion resistance. It's typically not as strong as steel and can be more difficult to machine.

Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

Brass alloys consist primarily of copper, but they can contain as much as 40% zinc, which increases their machinability. They are often used for nuts, rivets, hinges, and locks.

Containing lead, 173 beryllium copper is easier to machine than other beryllium copper alloys while still being electrically conductive and non-magnetic.
