Available Metal Grades

AR - Abrasion Resistant Plates

Grade
Description
AR 200
Resilient, high-strength steel fashioned in its natural, as-rolled state.
AR 400 F
A tempered grade known for its resistance to wear and capacity for high impact.

Aluminum

Grade
Description
2024
Often chosen for its high strength, similar to 2011. Prioritized when a superior strength-to-weight balance is essential but comes with limited corrosion resistance.
3003, 3105
A champion among aluminum alloys, it boasts excellent resistance to corrosion paired with commendable malleability. A touch of manganese boosts its strength beyond the standard 1xxx series.
5005, 5052
Emerging as the topmost non-heat treatable grade, it provides a defense against marine conditions and saltwater. Notable for ease of workability.
6061, 6063
Amenable to heat treatment, this cluster provides a balanced medium strength combined with commendable corrosion resistance and workability. A good pick for structural applications.
Cast Aluminum
A special rendition of aluminum, crafted through casting processes like die, mold, or sand casting. Widely recognized in household items, machinery, and a diverse array of products, underscoring its adaptability.

Cold Rolled

Grade
Description
260
A versatile brass known for its excellent malleability. Its soldering and brazing abilities range from limited to decent.
330, 360
Popular for a myriad of uses, these grades are top contenders among copper alloys. They possess reasonable proficiency in both soldering and brazing.
464
Often dubbed 'Naval brass', this grade shines in durability and resistance to corrosion. Its prowess in soldering and brazing is particularly noteworthy.

Galvanized

Grade
Description
A1011

Hot Rolled Carbon Steel

Grade
Description
19W4
Heavy-duty grating steel with a protective galvanized finish.
60
Reinforcement bar quality boasting a yield strength of 60 KSI.
1008
A variant of low-carbon steel enriched with approximately 0.40% manganese; renowned for its welding and forming capabilities.
1011
Hot-forged alloy with both substantial strength and moldability.
1018
Gentle low carbon steel known for its robustness, ductility, and welding friendliness.

Hot Rolled Pickled Oiled

Grade
Description
954
Holding the title as the most favored among bronze alloys, it offers impressive tensile strength, resistance to wear and fatigue, and stands up well against deformation. Furthermore, it boasts commendable ductility, machinability, and weldability.

Stainless Steel

Grade
Description
303
Shields against various elements, from sterilizing agents and the majority of chemicals to atmospheric conditions and nitric acid.
304
A popular choice, known for resisting corrosion, easy forming, and compatibility with most welding techniques.
304L
A low-carbon version, reducing the risks associated with welding-induced carbide precipitation. Provides the corrosion resistance of 304 but with diminished mechanical characteristics.
316
Upgrades from 304, offering enhanced resistance to pitting and corrosion and superior strength at raised temperatures. Ideal for diverse uses, from pumps to marine hardware.
316L
A variant of 316 with minimal carbon, preventing issues during welding. Maintains a balance of high strength, durability, and the exceptional corrosion resistance of its predecessor.
