Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Aluminum

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

Nickel

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

Copper

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

Tungsten

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

Brass

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

Titanium

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

Molybdenum

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

Bronze

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

Gold

Softer than copper and nearly as conductive, form it into electronic components that won't corrode

Platinum

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

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

Tantalum

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

Electrical

Grounding Wire

Ground current in electrical systems

Material Handling

Baling Wire

Secure large bundles such as lumber, cardboard, and wire coils

Fastening and Joining

MIG Welding Wire

MIG Welding Wire

Use with MIG welders to fuse metals together

Fabricating and Machining

Electrical Discharge Machining Wire

Electrical Discharge Machining Wire

Pair with wire-cutting EDM machines to erode and shape metal workpieces using electrical current

Facility and Grounds Maintenance

Barbed Wire

Deter people from entering a fenced-off area

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Pedestal (35" Ht. x 4" Wd. x 4" Dp.)
