Hardened Oversized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
Also known as reamer blanks, these rods have an oversized diameter that allows for finishing to your exact requirements. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.

- Temper Rating: Softened (Annealed)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Tensile Strength: 50,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM B134
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. 260 brass is sometimes called cartridge brass. This wire has a soft temper and stays in place when bent.
Ultra-Strength Easy-to-Form 510 Bronze Wire
- Temper Rating: Spring
- Tensile Strength: 130,000 psi
- Specifications Met: ASTM B159
Because 510 bronze is very strong and formable, it is the best choice for applications involving repetitive motion, such as springs, bellows, and switches.
