Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Brass

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

Nickel

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

Tungsten

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

Aluminum

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

Bronze

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

Copper

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

Titanium

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

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

Molybdenum

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

Lead

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

Tantalum

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

Niobium

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

Power Transmission

Springs

Apply and absorb force with compression, die, extension, torsion, and disc springs
