| Additional Capabilities | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Anodizing | Anodizing is a galvanic finishing process well-suited to aluminum and its alloys. Anodized finishes provide hardness for wear applications and offer corrosion-resistant properties. They are available in a wide range of colors. | ||
| Beading | Beading is a secondary operation that adds a radius to the part. | ||
| Electroplating | Electroplating is a finishing process used with materials such as brass, bronze, and copper. It is used to achieve a wide variety of colors and textures. | ||
| Heat Treating / Stress Relieving | Heat treating and stress relieving is a broad category of metal-treating processes that includes annealing, passivation, and hardening. Stress relieving may be necessary to relieve residual stresses from stamping. | ||
| Hot Tin Dipping | Hot tin dipping immerses a part into a bath of pure molten tin to coat the product. This prevents oxidation and provides a non-toxic surface. | ||
| Machining | Machining uses components called centers to perform very precise operations such as turning, milling, and boring. | ||
| Marking | Marking is a secondary operation that marks the product by etching or printing. | ||
| Painting / Powder Coating | Painting and powder coating applies a decorative and/or protective finish. Typically, these coatings provide greater thickness than plating or anodizing operations. | ||
| Piercing | Piercing is a shearing process where a punch and die are used to create a hole. | ||
| Polishing | Polishing is the process of rubbing a surface until it is smooth and shiny. | ||
| Slotting | Slotting is a secondary operation to add a narrow groove or slot in the part | ||
| Soldering | Soldering is the joining of two metal items by melting and flowing a filler metal between the items. | ||
| Threading | Threading adding threads to the part. Threads can be rolled or machined. | ||
| Tool Making | Suppliers can design and produce tooling for part fabrication. | ||
| Welding | Welding joins metals and metal parts by melting and re-forming a metal bond between materials, with or without additional filler metals. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted secondary operations. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Shape / Form: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Round Shape | Shapes can be fabricated or deep drawn with a round cross-section. | ||
| Square Shape | Shapes can be fabricated or deep drawn with a square cross-section. Squares have a cross-section where two equal sides proscribe a right angle between surfaces. | ||
| Rectangular Shape | Shapes can be fabricated or deep drawn with a rectangular cross-section. Rectangles have a cross-section where two unequal sides proscribe a right angle between the surfaces. | ||
| Hex | Shapes can be fabricated or deep drawn with a hexagonal cross-section. Hollow hexagonal shapes can be useful in hex or socket wrench applications. | ||
| Other | This refers to other unlisted, specialized or proprietary forms or shape types. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Materials
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Material selection considerations include tensile or impact strength, magnetic and electric properties, and corrosion resistance. Material flow during the stamping or forming process is another significant consideration when deep draws or especially thin or thick parts are desired. | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Ferrous Metals | Ferrous metals contain iron as their primary constituent. This category includes carbon steels, cold-rolled steels, and stainless steel. | ||
| Nonferrous Metals | Nonferrous metals are elements and alloys that contain aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, or nickel. This category includes proprietary alloys such as Monel® and Inconel®, registered trademarks of Special Metals Corp. | ||
| Exotic Metals and Alloys | Exotic metals and alloys have specialized properties. This category includes materials such as beryllium copper, beryllium nickel, niobium, tantalum, and titanium. | ||
| Precious Metals | Precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum are used in electronic connection terminals, gold foil-stamping for the printing industry, and specialty services. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or unusual application-specific materials such as stampings of cork and fiber sheeting. | ||
