How can we improve?

7,338 Products

Raw Materials

Aluminum

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

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Brass

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

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Copper

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

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Titanium

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

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Nickel

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

Bronze

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

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Cobalt

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

Lead

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

Zinc

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

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Niobium

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

Tin

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

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

Dowel Pin Stock

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut to the length you need for positioning and holding parts in place
