Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.

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

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

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

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

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

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

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.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

With 99.99% copper content, 101 copper has higher purity than 110 copper, resulting in superior electrical conductivity. It's commonly called OFE and OFHC copper. Use it in electrical applications, such as for coaxial cables and terminal lugs.

Grade 5 is the strongest of all the titanium alloys thanks to its higher aluminum and vanadium content. It offers a versatile mix of good corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability. It's often used for turbine blades, fasteners, and spacer rings.

Cover unused drains to prevent accidents and help comply with OSHA requirements.

Rain, snow, and wet conditions won't damage these corrosion-resistant covers.

Protect the edges of carpet surrounding your outlet boxes.

Add a flat mounting surface to to a screw jack to support loads.

Eliminate gaps around your deadbolt locks.

Create bushings and other parts that will be exposed to abrasion, harsh chemicals, high heat, and rubbing with these rods. Sintering strengthens the bonds within silicon carbide, leaving it two times stronger than other versions of silicon carbide.

Over 99% pure, these rods have the strength of silicon carbide throughout, so they resist deforming under heavy loads at high temperatures (known as creep). They’re often used as supports in kilns.
