5052 H32 Aluminum
5052 aluminum in the H32 temper is a high strength, corrosion resistant aluminum alloy commonly used for general purpose applications like sheet metal and for applications like marine and transportation products, fuel tanks, architectural products, gutters, window frames, and many other uses.
6061 T6 Aluminum
6061 aluminum in the T6 temper is a high strength, lightweight, and easily machined aluminum alloy commonly used in the production of structural components for a variety of applications including aerospace components, automotive parts, recreational equipment, and construction uses.
7075 T6 Aluminum
7075 aluminum in the T6 temper is an exceptionally high strength and fatigue resistant aluminum alloy commonly used in the production of high stress structural components such as aerospace gears, shafts, aircraft fittings, and other components in extreme environments.
MIC6 Aluminum
MIC6 aluminumis a trademarked cast aluminum alloy plate by manufacturer Alcoa that is commonly used for tooling and base plates for automotive and aerospace components, as well as for jigs and fixtures.
AR400 & AR500 Steel
Abrasion-resistant (AR) 400 and 500 steel are high hardness steels specifically designed to withstand high levels of wear and tear, where they are commonly used in the production of body armor, ballistic plates, and shooting targets as well as in construciton and mining applications.
4140 + 4130 Chrome-moly Steel
4140 and 4130 chrome-moly (or chromoly) steel are types of low-alloy steel, where the “40” and “30” designate a 0.40% and 0.30% carbon by weight composition respectively. Both have a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent tensile and fatigue strength, and good machinability, making them ideal for producing structural components and mechanical parts for automobile and bicycle parts, and tubular products for the oil and gas industry.
304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel is a type of corrosion-resistant stainless steel thanks to its high chromium and nickel content, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including food processing equipment, kitchen utensils, medical instruments, as well as construction and automotive parts, architectural features, window frames, and more.
316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel is a type of corrosion-resistant stainless stel with a high level of molybdenum and a lower carbon content than 304 stainless stel, making it exceptionally corrosion resistant and ideal for marine environments, medical implants, chemical processing equipment, as well as high wear construction and architectural applications.
A36 Steel
A36 steel is a low-carbon steel with good formability and weldability, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including structural components, tanks, and welded bridges, as well as in the construction of buildings, automotive parts, and other fabricated products like pipes, rods, and beams.
Hot Rolled Steel
Hot rolled steel is a type of steel formed by rolling at high temperatures (> 1700 °F), resulting in a stronger and more malleable material useful for structural steel bars, sheet metal, and other stock for piping, beams, and automobile parts.
Tool Steel
Tool steel is a high-carbon, high-alloy steel that is specifically designed for tool manufacturing. Its ability to be heat-treated and withstand high levels of wear and abrasion make it ideal for punches, dies, cutting edges, hand tools, power tool bits, and automotive parts.
