Materials



	Your choices are...
	Aluminum / Aluminum Alloy		Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Aluminum is relatively easy to fabricate by forming, machining or welding. It is a good electrical and thermal conductor. Aluminum is also useful as an alloying element in steel and titanium alloys. Aluminum alloys are versatile metals with applications in almost every industrial and commercial segment.
	Copper, Brass or Bronze Alloy		Copper and copper alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Copper alloys are relatively easy to fabricate by forming, casting or machining. Pure copper is more difficult to weld, cast or machine. Brass, tin bronze, leaded brass, beryllium copper and zirconium copper are examples of copper alloys. Copper is also useful as an alloying element in aluminum alloys and powder metal-based iron alloys. Copper is a versatile metal with applications in many industrial and commercial segments. Copper's high electrical conductivity (100% IACS) make it extremely useful in electrical and electronic applications.
	Magnesium / Magnesium Alloy		Magnesium and magnesium alloys are non-ferrous metals with low density (relatively high strength-to-weight ratio), good ductility, moderate strength, and good corrosion resistance. Magnesium and magnesium alloys are used in a variety of industries as well as in aircraft, marine, and power tool applications.
	Nickel / Nickel Alloy		Nickel is a hard, malleable, ductile, silverish metal that is used in a variety of alloys. Hastelloy® alloys provide high resistance to uniform attack and offer localized corrosion resistance. Incoloy® alloys combine good strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and carbonization in high temperature and aqueous environments. Monel® is an alloy with high strength and resistance to a range of corrosive media. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International. Incoloy and Monel are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation.
	Noble / Precious Metals		Noble and precious metals such as silver, gold, platinum, and palladium alloys are extremely resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
	Refractory / Reactive		Refractory and reactive metals include boron (B), tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb) and columbium (Cb), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), thorium (Th), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), rhenium (Re ), and titanium (Ti). Refractory metals and alloys are metals with melting points above ~1750° C (~ 32000° F). They are used in high temperature, structural, electrical, and other specialty applications. Reactive metals combine readily with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form very stable oxides. Titanium, zirconium, and beryllium are considered to be reactive metals. Finely-divided reactive metals can react explosively with oxygen and are often added to rocket fuels or combustible mixtures. A highly stable oxide film formed on the alloy surface provides protection against further oxidization or corrosion at low-to-moderate temperatures. Reactive metals can become embrittled if there is too much interstitial absorption of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen into the lattice.
	Steel / Alloy Steel		Alloy steels are ferrous alloys based on iron, carbon and alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and nickel. Alloy steels include hardenable high alloy steels, high strength low alloy steels, maraging steels and other specialty steel alloys. Steel alloys are used in a wide variety of applications in almost every industrial segment. Low alloy steels can be fabricated easily by machining, forming, casting and welding.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and has relatively high pressure ratings.
	Titanium		Titanium and titanium alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent corrosion resistance, good fatigue properties, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium and titanium alloys are commonly used for aircraft or air frame parts, jet engine superalloy components, corrosion-resistant chemical process equipment (valves, piping, and pumps), prostheses or medical devices, and marine equipment.
	White / Low Melting		Lead, tin and white metals are low melting, non-ferrous metals and alloys. They are used as solders, battery electrodes, bearing liners, decorative products, and coatings. Indium, tin, lead and antimony are used to manufacture semiconductors.
	Zinc / Zinc Alloy		Zinc and zinc alloys are non-ferrous alloys that melt at moderately low temperatures. They are used widely in the production of die cast components.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialty or proprietary metals or alloy grades. These materials are based on a unique composition or alloy system, use a novel processing technology, or have properties designed for specific applications.

Services


	Secondary Operations
	Your choices are...
	Drilling / Tapping		Suppliers perform drilling, tapping, threading, and associated or similar operations.
	CNC Machining		Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining centers are used to perform very precise machining operations such as turning, milling, and boring.
	Grinding		Grinding provides a very smooth, precise material finish and can be used to finish high-hardness wear surfaces.
	EDM Cutting		Electrical discharge machining (EDM) uses the discharge from an electrode to cut metal. There are two main types of EDM: wire and ram. With wire EDM, the electrode is a thin wire typically made of brass or other alloys. With ram EDM, the electrode is a specially shaped piece of graphite or copper alloy. Both types of EDM provide tight dimensional tolerances and high finish quality without requiring secondary operations such as grinding or lapping.
	Water / Abrasive Jet Cutting		Water jets and water abrasive jets rely on the flow of highly pressurized water (20,000 - 60,000 psi) through a nozzle or jewel with a diameter of approximately 0.010". Advantages include: little material heating during cutting, low side loads, and the ability to achieve complex shapes and tight inside-radii. Low fixturing costs and fast setup and programming times make this process suitable for prototyping and short-run production. Water or abrasive jet curing is most often used for two-dimensional cutting. Three-dimensional machining is possible in specialty applications. Pure water jets are used to cut very soft material such as fabrics or rubber. Metals usually require abrasives in the stream. "Water jet" is a generic term that is sometimes used to cover both processes.
	Heat Treating / Stress Relieving		Heat treating and stress relieving is a broad category of metal-treating processes such as annealing, passivation, and hardening. Stress relieving may be necessary to relieve residual stresses from the stamping process.
	Welding		Welding joins metals and metal parts by melting and re-forming a metal bond between materials, with or without additional filler metals.
	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.
	Black Oxide		Black oxide coatings are an anti-corrosion treatment for a variety of steels.
	Electroplating		Electroplating is a finishing process used with materials such as brass, bronze, and copper. A wide variety of colors and textures can be achieved.
	Painting / Powder Coating		Painting and powder coating applies decorative and/or protective finishes. Typically, these coatings provide greater thickness than plating or anodizing operations.
	Other		Other unlisted secondary operations.
