Materials
What we work in.
Most common metals and plastics, plus the usual finishes. If your part calls for something specific, send it over. Odds are we can quote it.
Metals
Common metals.
Aluminum 6061 and 7075. Light, machines easily, a solid all-around choice.
Stainless Steel 303, 304, and 316. Corrosion-resistant and strong.
Steel Mild, alloy, and tool steels (A2, D2, O1). Strong and hard-wearing.
Titanium Grade 5 and others. High strength at low weight.
Brass C360 and more. Easy to machine: good for fittings and fixtures.
Copper Excellent conductivity for electrical parts.
Bronze A good pick for bushings, bearings, and wear parts.
Plastics
Engineering plastics.
Delrin / Acetal Stiff, low-friction, and dimensionally stable.
Nylon Tough and wear-resistant.
PEEK High-performance: heat- and chemical-resistant.
Polycarbonate Impact-resistant and optically clear.
PTFE / Teflon Very low friction and chemically inert.
UHMW Tough, slick, and abrasion-resistant.
ABS Easy to machine: good for prototypes and housings.
Garolite / G-10 A strong, rigid composite and good electrical insulator.
Compare
Nine materials,
side by side.
Relative strength, weight, and machinability for the materials most parts get quoted in, and what each one is typically used for.
Aluminum 6061
The default alloy for a reason: strong enough for most work, light, affordable, and it anodizes well.
