Stainless Steel is used for a myriad of things from surgical implements, to aerospace components, and even in harsh saltwater environments that would destroy normal steels in a matter of weeks. The particular alloy we use is 303 Stainless, which has been developed specifically for its machining properties. It is primarily used in the fabrication of fittings and fasteners, where it’s excellent machining qualities allow it to form superb threads and hold tight tolerances.

Developed in 1935 and originally called ‘Alloy 61s’, 6061 aluminum is used for almost everything. It’s easily machined, and easily welded, those of you that have welded aluminum know that “easy” is a relative word. Aircraft Grade 6061 is used in everything from boat building to, as its name implies, aircraft manufacture.  You can also find it in motorcycles, cars, trains, fishing reels and scuba tanks. Basically anywhere a component needs to be light in weight, structurally strong, and corrosion resistant the go to metal is 6061 aluminum.
