1117 | This is a resulphurized steel with good machinability and surface finish, but not as good as the standard screw stocks. Its case hardening characteristics are superior and it develops an excellent core. It brazes satisfactorily but has no more than fair welding properties. A more ductile steel than others of lower manganese content and it cold forms well. Its machinability is rated at 89% of 1212. |
1144A | Medium carbon, usually cold-drawn. Can be heat treated. Welding requires special practices and residual control. |
1215 | Free machining steel, commonly referred to as screw machine stock, especially suited for automatic screw machine operations where the major requirement is exceptional free-machining quality with a smooth, bright finish. Poor weldability. |
12L14 | A standard resulfurized and rephosphorized grade carbon steel and a free machining steel. The added lead to the chemical composition provides improved machinability but the added lead content also reduces the overall strength of this alloy. |
40 | Used for rebar. Offers a minimum yield strength of 40,000 PSI. |
60 | Used for rebar. Offers a minimum yield strength of 60 KSI. |
A311-B | Excellent machinability, resistance to fatigue and stress, strengthened without heat treating. |
A36 | Low carbon steel that exhibits good strength coupled with formability. It is easy to machine and fabricate and can be securely welded. |
A706 | Low alloy. Easiest grade to weld. |

D-2 | High carbon and high chrome. Ideal grade for maximum production runs. Superior machinability. Excellent wear-resistance, high compressive strength, and deep hardening properties. Most widely used in the D series. |
M-2 | General purpose high speed steel. Most widely used in the M series. |
O-1 | Oil Hardening. Easy to machine. Good abrasion resistance. Most widely used in O series. |
S-7 | Shock resistant tool steel. Used in applications that require high toughness and resistance. Used for moderately elevated temperature service. |

4140 | Medium carbon steel that is widely used for general purposes. Good hardenability, strength, toughness, wear resistance, and ductility. |
4150 | Similar to 4140, but increased carbon content leads to higher hardenability. Offers excellent machinability and tool life. |
41L40, | Can be quenched and tempered for a broad range of strength levels. |
4340 | Highly alloyed steel. Used in heavy-duty conditions and for heavily stressed parts. |
52100 | A high carbon, chromium containing, low alloy steel. A moderately deep hardening alloy with high resistance to wear, medium toughness and low resistance to softening at high temperatures. |
8620 | General purpose alloy. It is the most widely used of all case hardening alloys. |
86L20 | Case hardening steel that is supported by a tough, ductile core. Minimal distortion in heat treatment. |

1100 | Commercially pure aluminum. Soft and ductile, has excellent workability and formability and high thermal and electrical conductivities. Non-heat treatable. |
2011 | One of the most commonly used high strength aluminum alloys. Low corrosion resistance. Commonly used when good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. |
2017 | Has high strength with excellent fatigue strength. Alloy 2017 also has very good machining characteristics. It is suitable for welding only by resistance welding. Alloy 2017 is used for various applications from high strength structural components, aircraft, machine construction, military equipment, and rivets. |
2024 | One of the most commonly used high strength aluminum alloys. Low corrosion resistance. Commonly used when good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. |

17-4 PH | Precipitation hardened, can be heat treated to high levels of hardness and strength. Features machinability and corrosion resistance. |
303 | Corrosion resistant to sterilizing solutions, most organic and inorganic chemicals, most dyes, nitric acid, and atmospheric exposures. |
304 | Offers resistance to corrosion, has good formability and can be readily welded by all methods. One of the most commonly used grades across the industry. |
304L | Extra low carbon avoids harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Same corrosion resistance as 304 with lower mechanical properties. |
316 | Better pitting and corrosion resistance than 304, as well as higher strength at elevated temperatures. 316 can be used for valves, marine equipment, pumps, and chemical equipment. |
316L | Extra low carbon avoids harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Same excellent corrosion resistance as 316. It exhibits the same high strength, toughness and workability as 304 alloys. |
416 | Good corrosion resistance. Additional sulfur in its chemistry makes 416 easier to machine. |
440 F-Se | One of the hardest stainless steels. The extra carbon allows for a long lasting sharp edge when heat treated properly. |
