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.

A combination of high strength, hardness, and wear resistance makes tool steel especially well-suited for use as cutting tools.

Offering an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is the most corrosion-resistant metal we offer. It resists pitting and stress cracking.

This opaque and semi-clear plastic is often used in place of metal where a lightweight material is desired, such as for signs, equipment housings, and gears.

Composites, such as Garolite, carbon fiber, and fiberglass, are reinforced so they’re stronger than plastic but lighter than metal. They are also called plastic laminate and thermosets.
