Sometimes called flat stock, these bars have a thickness and width that are precision ground to a tight tolerance.

These sheets and bars are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

The galvannealed coating allows these steel sheets to be painted without prepping the surface. They're easier to weld and more scratch resistant than zinc-galvanized steel sheets. Use them for outdoor signs, cabinets, and doors.

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

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It’s often used for jigs and fixtures.

Sulfur is added to these sheets, which helps them produce smaller chips than other low-carbon steel sheets when they’re machined. Smaller chips mean less clogging and more coolant flow while you cut.

Exceptional hardness makes AR500 carbon steel more resistant to wear and impact than other carbon steel.

Even in low temperatures, A516 carbon steel resists breaking upon impact. Also known as pressure-vessel-quality (PVQ) steel, it is mostly used for boilers, storage tanks, and pressure vessels.

These sheets and bars are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

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.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content for good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

Combining strength with weldability and formability, A572 alloy steel is an economical choice for structural components, such as channels, beams, and framing. It has a low carbon content, making it easy to weld with a variety of welding methods.

Also known as weathering steel, this high-strength steel develops a thin layer of rust over time in outdoor environments that protects the inner steel from corrosion.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Containing more carbon than low-carbon steel—but less than 1095 spring steel—1050 spring steel is easily formed into parts such as washers, brackets, and springs before being hardened for use.

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

These precision-ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance.

These sheets and bars are precision ground to a tight thickness tolerance.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance.

Made from powdered metal, M4 tool steel has a consistent microstructure that gives it outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. It is comparable to CPM Rex M4.
