Bend this wire and it will stay put. It’s frequently used as tying wire and locking wire.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 304 stainless steel.

When compared to standard 304 stainless steel, this material can be machined faster with less wear on cutting tools. It's also called Prodec and Project 70+.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel.

This material is precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 316 stainless steel.

This wire will spring back after bending. It's often used to make springs and wire rope.

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

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

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

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

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.

Also known as Project 70+, this material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

This wire is zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

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

Always have the right size wire on hand with a 72-piece assortment.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. It’s used for parts such as bearings, bushings, and punches.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

353 brass is more formable than 385 brass while maintaining good machinability. Commonly called engraver’s brass, it’s well suited for fabrication processes such as knurling and threading. Use it to make nuts, gears, drawer pulls, and hinges.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

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.

Known for its ability to resist stress cracking and fatigue, 544 bronze also offers good formability and excellent machinability. It's commonly called phosphor bronze.

Also called tellurium copper, 145 copper contains tellurium, which makes it more machinable than all other copper while maintaining good corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. It’s often used for transformer and circuit-breaker terminals, welding torch tips, and fasteners.

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 reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

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.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe.

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

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

These nickel-iron-cobalt alloy rods expand at the same rate as glass when heated. They offer better machinability than Invar 36 and are often used anywhere a dependable glass-to-metal seal is required, such as in diodes and microwave tubes.

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.

The matte plating on these rods, sometimes called industrial chrome and hard chrome, creates a slippery surface that minimizes galling and prevents parts from seizing.

This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent.

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

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