Material Handling

Wire Rope

Lift, hang, and connect objects; more abrasion resistant than rope and lighter weight than chain

Rope

Tie, bind, and lift objects; lighter weight yet lower capacity than wire rope

Slings

Grip and lift loads with hoists and cranes; made of webbing, rope, or chain

Twist Ties

Wind the ends to bundle cable and wire or close bags and sacks

Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Lead

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

Copper

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

Aluminum

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

Titanium

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

Nickel

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

Brass

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

Niobium

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

Measuring and Inspecting

Thread Size Identifiers

Thread Size Identifiers

Confirm your fastener's thread size, pitch, or threads per inch

Fastening and Joining

Brazing Alloys

Form stronger bonds between metal parts than solder without melting the base material

Solder

Join pieces of metal without melting the base material
