	AMS		Metals or alloys meet specific Aerospace Material Specification (AMS) guidelines established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
	ASTM / ASME		The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a non-profit organization that provides a forum for the development and publication of voluntary standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Most specifications from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) are adopted from or very similar to ASTM specifications.
	Casting Grade (ICI, etc.)		Ingot or alloy shapes meet the requirements for casting stock from the Alloy Casting Institute (ACI), the American Die Casting Institute (ADCI), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Investment Casting Institute (ICI).
	EN		European Norm or EuroNorm (EN) specifications have superseded several older, national designation systems such as BS, DIN, NS and SS.
	MIL-SPEC / Federal (QQS)		MIL-SPEC metals meet U.S. government standards and are suitable for military applications. QQ and QQS are prefixes used to designate specific metals.

Shape / Form


	Shape / Form:
	Your choices are...
	Angle		Material is supplied or available in a stock form with an "L" or angle-shaped cross section.
	Anode		Metals or alloys are supplied as anode shapes. Plating anodes are in used in plating or electroplating processes. Sacrificial anodes are used to protect steel or other metal structures from corrosion. Sacrificial anodes corrode preferentially, creating a galvanic cell that protects the steel or iron alloy in the process.
	Beam / I-Beam		Material is supplied or available in a stock form with an I-beam or I-shaped cross-section.
	Billet / Slab / Bloom		Billets, slabs, or blooms are massive, hot rolled, or forged blocks of metals or alloys. These forms can have semifinished square, rectangular slab, or round cross-sections. Producing billets or blooms from ingots by forging is called cogging. Hot-rolling ingots is a process called blooming. Billets are used as feedstock for rolling operations and in the machining of large components. Slabs are semi-finished steel blocks, usually with widths that are at least twice their thickness.
	Bar Stock		Materials are supplied or available as bars, rod stock, or billets. Bars or rods may have a round, square, rectangular/flat, hexagonal, or oval-shaped cross-section.

	Profile / Structural Shape		Profiles and structural shapes include shaped stock with uniform cross sections such tees, angles, channels, I-beams, rectangular tubes, and other cross sectional shapes. These shapes are manufactured through extrusion, continuous casting, roll forming, or other processes.
	Rod / Round Bar Stock		Materials are supplied or available as rod stock with a round cross-section.
	Squares / Square Bar		Materials are supplied or available as square bars, bar stock, or billets. Squares have a cross-section where two equal sides proscribe a right angle between surfaces.
	Semi-finished Shape / Mill Stock		Semi-finished metal shapes or stock shapes are suitable for part fabrication by machining, assembly, or other processes. Stock shapes are also used as feedstock for casting, forging, spinning, and other forming processes. Semi-finished metal shapes and stock include forms such as bar stock, rods, plates, strips, wire, shaped wire, hexagonal shapes, billets, sheets, and foil.
	Sheet		Materials can be supplied or available as sheets or foil. Sheets have a thickness between 0.006" and 0.250" and are 24" (609.6 mm) or larger in width. Typically, sheets are formed to precise thicknesses and/or width requirements. Hardness and surface finish properties can be controlled by the rolling process, which usually consists of cross-rolling.
	Shim / Shim Stock		Thin brass, steel, or metal stock is manufactured to precise thicknesses for shimming, chocking, or spacing applications.

Features



	Your choices are...
	Cast (Continuous, Centrifugal)		Cast alloy stocks or shapes are produced in a casting process such as continuous casting or centrifugal casting.
	Wrought		Wrought metals or alloys are worked mechanically to refine their structure, break up inclusion, close porosity, and improve homogeneity.
	Powdered Metal (Compacted)		Powered metal stock or shapes are fabricated by consolidating or compacting powdered or atomized versions or the metal or alloy. Powder processing eliminates the possibility of large inclusions and can produce a finer structure compared to conventional wrought processes.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Features
	Your choices are...
	Cold Finished / Rolled		Alloy stock or shapes are produced in a process that mechanically deforms or works the material at a temperature that is below the recrystallization point of the alloy. Rolling processes squeeze the metal between two steel rolls. Drawing processes pull the metal from a die opening or gap. The elevated temperature allows a greater degree of deformation as well as annealing during the process. Hot rolled metals tend to have more scale on their surface.
	Corrosion Resistant		These alloys are designed or suitable for service applications that require corrosion resistance.
	Electric Arc Furnaced (E, VAR, etc.)		Electric arc furnaced materials are very clean and have less inclusions and lower variability. Aircraft, bearing, and premium steels are usually electric arc furnaced or E grade steels.
	Extruded		These alloy stocks or shapes are produced by using an extrusion process.
	Forged		Metal stock or shapes are available as forged billets, blooms, slabs, or bar stock. The forging process presses, pounds, or squeezes metal stock under very high pressure. Material flow occurs during the forging process, closing any internal porosity and refining the microstructure.
	Heat Resistant		Alloys are designed or suitable for service applications that require heat resistance.
	Hot Rolled		Hot rolled alloy stock or shapes are produced in a process that mechanically deforms or works the material at an elevated temperature (e.g., steels in the "red" hot condition). This temperature is above the recrystallization point of the alloy. The elevated temperature allows a greater degree of deformation or a reduction of thickness. A post annealing process is not required after hot rolling. Hot rolled metals tend to have more surface scale and require pickling and oiling.
	Precipitation Hardening		Precipitation hardening alloys can be hardened by solution treating and aged to high strength. Precipitation hardening (PH) stainless steels are chromium-nickel metals, some of which contain alloying elements such as copper or aluminum. PH grades 17-7 (Type 631), 17-4 (Type 630), 13-8, 15-5, 15-7, as well as specialty and proprietary alloys. Many aluminum alloys are hardened or strengthened through a precipitation hardening process.
	Wear Resistant		Alloys are designed or suitable for service applications that require wear or erosion resistance.
	Specialty / Other		This refers to other unlisted, specialty or proprietary metals or alloy grades. These materials are based on a unique composition or alloy system, use a novel processing technology, or have properties designed for specific applications.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
