Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is often used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations.

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

Each piece is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

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.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

This material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 316 stainless steel. It's also called Prodec and Project 70+.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It's widely used as tying and locking wire.

Hardened for superior wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are all set for turning applications in a lathe.

Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight tolerance.

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

Ready for turning in a lathe, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance.

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

Ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances, these rods are ready to be turned in a lathe.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

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.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

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.

With the addition of lead, this beryllium copper alloy forms small chips that won’t clog machines when it’s drilled or cut, so it is ideal for automated production lines.

182 copper is stronger, harder, and more wear resistant than 110 copper. Also known as RWMA Class 2 chromium copper, it's commonly used in resistance welding, for circuit-breaker parts, and for molds to make plastic parts.

Also known as chatter-free tungsten, this material is used for boring bars and grinding tools that dampen noise and vibration while machining.

This tungsten alloy is strong, corrosion resistant, and extremely dense. It’s dense enough to use as a lead alternative to shield from radiation, a vibration dampener in small spaces for equipment such as helicopter blades, and as crankshaft weights.

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.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It is often used as safety lock wire.

Use these metal dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Cut this 12" stock to the length you need.

An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, this acetal copolymer offers similar wear resistance.

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

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

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Use PFA in place of PTFE and FEP for durability in repetitive processes, such as pump parts. It is chemical resistant across a wide temperature range.

Just as chemical resistant as PTFE, yet FEP offers greater impact strength. Use it to make valve components and gaskets.

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.
