Metal interlocked strips create a rigid, durable hose that stays strong under high temperatures.

Combining the heat resistance of metal with the flexibility of fabric, this fiberglass hose has a special coating that stands up to high temperatures.

A good general purpose hose for blowing and vacuum applications, this hose is for use with grinding dust, sawdust, and lint.

The neoprene coating on this hose contains carbon to dissipate static when hose is installed in a grounded system.

Silicone rubber gives this hose, often called radiator hose, the ability to handle high-heat conditions.

Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, rollers, and bushings.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

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

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.
