Raw Materials

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze for making nuts, hinges, and locks

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel that withstands harsh chemicals and acids at high temperatures

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Bronze

With better wear resistance than copper and brass, it’s used for bearings, gears, and pump parts

Copper

The most conductive of our metals, it excels in all types of electrical applications

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer, with very high strength relative to its weight

Tin

Soft and malleable for forming gaskets and filters; also mixes with other metals to make solder

Cobalt

Slides against other materials without wearing and sticking; resists impact and rapid temperature changes

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Lead

A dense insulator often used to shield against radiation and absorb sound and vibration

Niobium

Conductive, corrosion resistant, and strong, even at extremely high and low temperatures

Molybdenum

Retains its shape and strength in extreme temperatures and conducts heat and electricity

Zinc

Draws corrosion away from nearby metal; an alternative to lead for sound barriers and vibration dampers

Platinum

Conductive and formable, it resists extreme heat for use in parts such as thermocouple probes

Tantalum

Conductive with a higher melting point than most metals, it’s often used in heating elements

Fastening and Joining

Shim Stock

Cut into custom shapes to align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery

Fluid Handling

Perforated Sheets

Perforated Sheets

Filter, sort, separate, and strain liquid or dry material

Facility and Grounds Maintenance

Steel Hat Channel

Steel Hat Channel

Creates space for insulation inside walls and ceilings

Rebar

Reinforces concrete to reduce the chance it will crack from expansion and contraction

Building and Machinery Hardware

Bolt-Together Framing and Fittings

Bolt-Together Framing and Fittings

Fasten through equally spaced holes to build and adjust guards, tables, and racks

Electrical

Thermal Interface Material

Thermal Interface Material

Dissipate heat away from electronic components

Fabricating and Machining

Dovetail Blanks

Dovetail Blanks

Machine a blank workpiece with precut dovetails and locating slots for easy setup

Containers, Storage, and Furniture

Metal Panels

Close off openings in structures while allowing air to pass through
