Aluminum 5052-H32<\/h3>\n

\n Aluminum 5052 is a widely used alloy across common part applications made from sheet\n metal. This popular choice provides superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal\n for parts exposed to harsh environments. 5052 has a high modulus of elasticity,\n lending it to formability and weldability, allowing for unique shapes to be created\n out of the flat sheet. This material is versatile due to high strength, its\n lightweight nature, and aesthetic characteristics.\n <\/p>\n

Aluminum 6061-T651<\/h3>\n

\n Aluminum 6061 is also known as \u201cstructural aluminum.\u201d 6061 is alloyed with silicon\n which provides higher strength capabilities than an alloy such as Aluminum 5052.\n 6061 has a lower modulus of elasticity compared to other options, making it less\n formable and weldable than 5052, but it maintains similar lightweight\n characteristics. The alloy composition of 6061 is designed to prioritize strength\n over aesthetics.\n <\/p>\n

Brass C260<\/h3>\n

\n Brass C260 is primarily composed of copper and zinc, giving it the golden-yellow\n color for which it is known. Mechanically, Brass has corrosion-resistant and\n formable qualities similar to Aluminum 5052. Brass is heavier than aluminum, making\n it well suited for aesthetic or decorative applications.\n <\/p>\n

Copper C101<\/h3>\n

\n Copper 101 (C101) is known as oxygen free electronic or OFE Copper. It is primarily\n chosen when material impurities are undesired and electrical conductivity is\n crucial. It offers strong corrosion resistance and formable qualities but is more\n costly than oxygenated Copper 110. C101 is typically used for applications where\n exceptional conductivity is favored over cost savings.\n <\/p>\n

\n

CR Galvanized<\/h3>\n

\n Cold-Rolled Galvanized steel arrives from the mill with a zinc coating which\n prevents corrosion and provides its distinctive shiny, spangled appearance. This\n unique surface appearance makes it more challenging for other finishes, like powder\n coating to adhere to the metal without additional material preparation. This\n material lacks weldability due to fumes from its zinc coating, however galvanized is\n easily formed in the press brake.\n <\/p>\n

Stainless Steel 304\/304L<\/h3>\n

\n Stainless Steel 304 comes in two varieties, 2B and #4. These identifiers refer to\n the surface finish applied at the mill, but the underlying material is the same. 2B\n has a low shine appearance, whereas #4 has a brushed aesthetic from a mechanical\n polishing process. 2B typically costs less than #4, however both are formable and\n weldable. Of note, welding 304-#4 can remove the desirable brushed finish. 304\n provides only adequate corrosion resistance and is particularly risky in\n high-chloride environments such as saltwater or coastal regions.\n <\/p>\n

Stainless Steel 316\/316L<\/h3>\n

\n Stainless Steel 316 is similar to 304 but is instead alloyed with molybdenum. This\n feature enhances its corrosion resistance, especially in high-chloride marine\n environments. 316 has similar strength characteristics to 304 and is equally\n formable and weldable. Thanks to the addition of molybdenum, 316 is versatile, but\n comes at a higher cost than 304.\n <\/p>\n
