Compare over 25 types of stainless steel to find the right material for you—all with material certificates for traceability.
Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
This material has tighter tolerances than standard 304 stainless steel. From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
Rods are precision ground and straightened, so they’re ready for turning in your lathe.
Steel that meets ASTM or SAE specifications complies with standards for materials.
