Materials We Cut Every Week

The default for most parts, and the one to be careful with when it is not.

Corrosion resistance with a machining cost attached - the grade decides how much.

Cheap, strong, and completely dependent on what you do to the surface.

Steels bought for what they do after hardening, not before.

Sold on strength-to-weight, paid for in cycle time.

The materials that keep their strength when everything else has given up.

Conductivity and bearing properties, with chip control as the real challenge.

Insulating, chemical-resistant and light - until the part gets hot.

Damping, wear resistance and machinability that comes from free graphite.

The lightest structural metal we machine - and the one with the strictest rules.
