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

Copper

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

Brass

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

Bronze

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

Titanium

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

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

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Platinum

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

Tin

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