Typically used in sinks, sink rims, kitchen appliances, stairs, automotive trim, mufflers, heaters, gutters, roofing panels, moldings, countertops, combustion chambers, scientific apparatuses, oil refinery equipment, and ornamental work.
440c
Available In (Balls, Rectangle Bar, Round Bar, Square Bar)
High strength, moderate corrosion resistant, good hardness and wear resistant material. After heat treatment, Stainless 440C is capable of attaining the highest strength, hardness and wear resistance of all the stainless alloys. Typically used in rolling element bearing, valve seats, high-quality knife blades, surgical instruments, chisels, gage blocks, cutlery, ball bearings and races, molds and dies, knives, valve components, measuring instruments.
455
Available In (Round Bar)
With a corrosion resistance similar to 304, this alloy excels in situations where you need high strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of machining. Typically used in medical instruments, structural components, and aerospace applications.

Grade 2
Available In (Round Bar, Sheet/Plate, Round Tube)
Offers high corrosion resistance and the approximate strength of 6061-T6 aluminum. It’s high strength, low weight ratio give it a diversified range of applications ranging from medical applications to aerospace and automotive fabrication. Typically used in airframe components, cryogenic vessels, heat exchangers, condenser tubing, and pickling baskets.
6AL-4v (Grade 5)
Available In (Round Bar)
The most popular titanium grade, often associated with medical and aerospace applications, though it is also biocompatible. Feel free to heat treat this material to achieve even higher strengths! Typically used in blades, discs, rings, airframes, fasteners, pressure vessels, cases, hubs, forgings, biomedical implants.
Tool Steel
Tool Steel
Tool Steel is a particularly hard material that withstands heat and resists abrasion. Our Tool Steel stock is available in a number of grades and various lengths for whatever project you may have.
A-2
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
An air-hardening tool steel with good strength and with excellent stability in heat treatment. A-2 exhibits wear resistance that falls between O-1 and D-2 steel. Typically used in punches, dies, cutting tools in woodworking, tooling for plastic, dowel pins, hammers, and industrial knives.
D-2
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
High-carbon, air-hardening tool steel that provides good resistance to wear. D-2 provides a good blend of toughness, strength, and affordability. Typically used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.
H-13
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
With high toughness and very good stability during heat treatment, this tool steel provides good wear resistance in hot and cold work tooling. Typically used in cores, cavities for dies, and tools that require toughness and polishability.
M-2
Available In (Drill Rod)
The most popular tool steel for high-speed applications, it has excellent toughness and economic. Typically used in drills, taps, milling cutters, reamers, saws, and knives.
O-1
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
Oil-hardening, general purpose tool steel that holds its size and shape with excellent accuracy when being heat treated. While not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2, it experiences significantly less distortion during the heat treating process. Typically used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.
S-7
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar)
An oil or air hardened tool steel that exhibits excellent high impact toughness and strength. Typically used in shear blades, dies, chisels, and punches.
W-1
Available In (Drill Rod, Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
A water hardening tool steel that is one of the most commonly used tool steels due to its strong characteristics. It does undergo a decent amount of distortion during quenching, so do be aware of that. It is typically used in Shafts, pins, blacksmithing tools, and short term wearing tooling.
1018
Available In (Rectangle Bar, Square Bar)
This material has a good combination of all of the typical traits of steel - strength, some ductility, and comparative ease of machining. Chemically, it is very similar to A36 Hot Rolled steel, but the cold rolling process creates a better surface finish and better properties.
Unistrut
Unistrut
pregalvanized
Available In (Channel, Fittings)
Unistrut® channels and fittings are a hot rolled pre-galvanized steel system for weld free connections and frames.
