From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

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

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

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.

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.

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.

A thin layer of titanium is bonded to these copper rods for long life and dimensional stability in corrosive environments.

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.

Because Grade 2 titanium is 99% pure, it is more corrosion resistant than Grades 5 and 9 but not as strong. It has good formability and weldability. Common uses include chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and marine hardware.

Purer than Grade 5 titanium, these long-lasting rods resist fracturing from use even when cracked.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages.

Titanium threaded rods have a high strength-to-weight ratio and are resistant to acids and salt water.

About half the strength of medium-strength steel coupling nuts, these nuts are for light duty fastening applications.

The left-hand threads on these coupling nuts resists loosening from counterclockwise vibration. Use in light duty applications.

Choose these locknuts to fasten standard metric threads. They’re Class 8 steel, so they can be used in most fastening applications.

These metric-sized coupling nuts are Class 10 steel, so they’re about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel coupling nuts.

These coupling nuts have good chemical resistance.

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel coupling nuts, these nuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

One-third the weight of steel, aluminum coupling nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Brass coupling nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments and electrically conductive.

Known for their strength, steel coupling nuts are available with a corrosion-resistant finish.

Often called sleeve nuts, these thread adapters fasten parts with right-hand threads to parts with left-hand threads.

Increase or decrease metric thread size from one male-threaded part to another. Commonly used to connect two differently sized threaded rods, they have a hex-shaped body, so you can tighten them with a standard wrench.
