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

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

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

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

These rods are 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

Bend this wire and it will stay in place.

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys.

This wire rope provides a good balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility.

Often used as bracing and guy wires, individual strands are thick solid wire for a stiff construction.

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys.

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys.

Use this wire rope when lifting in areas that are frequently washed down and require a rope that counteracts rotation.

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys.

To counteract rotation while under load, the outer strands are wound in the opposite direction of the core.

The galvanized finish resists corrosion.

A stop, also known as a ferrule fitting, installed on one end holds the rope in place.

This polypropylene rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet.

Also known as truck tie-down rope, this rope has added UV-ray inhibitors to protect it from deterioration when used outdoors.

Softer than all other grip-tight rope, this manila rope is more comfortable to grip.

The soft polyester cover is easy on your hands.

The rough texture of this sisal rope allows it to make tight and long-lasting knots.

This rope shares the weight of a load between the inner core and outer cover, giving it added strength.

Also known as sash cord, this rope has a soft cotton cover, so you can grip it without hurting your hands.

This soft cotton rope with twisted construction allows you to grip it tight without it slipping or hurting your hands.

This polypropylene rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet.

Often used with pulleys and sheaves, this nylon rope is more wear resistant than cotton, and has more stretch to help compensate for sudden force.

For more control over your load, this rope is a high-performance polyester also known as Vectran, which has excellent resistance to stretch and slip.

Strong even when wet, this rope is a high-performance polyethylene comparable to Spectra.

Solid braided construction keeps this rope from flattening during use.
