Products & Services
Ferrous metals and alloys are based on iron and include carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, cast steel, maraging steel, and specialty or proprietary iron-based alloys.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Ferrous Metals and Iron Alloys
Nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, refractory metals. Learn more about Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Cobalt and cobalt alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, and high temperature strength. Learn more about Cobalt and Cobalt Alloys
Specialty nonferrous metals and alloys include metals such as hafnium, zirconium, beryllium, tantalum or osmium with unique properties for specific applications. Learn more about Specialty Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Reactive and refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, chromium, hafnium, zirconium, and titanium. Reactive metals oxide rapidly and form a stable oxide. Refractory metals and alloys have melting points above ~ 1750° C (~ 3200 F°). Search by Specification | Learn more about Refractory and Reactive Metals
