Available Materials

Tubing and pipe across multiple material families — stocked and ready to run.

Material Selection

Start with the Right Material

We stock carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and coated steel options in tubing and pipe — 10 gauge through 20 gauge tubing and Schedule 5 through Schedule 160 pipe. If your project calls for it, chances are it's already on our racks.

The material affects how a tube bends, welds, forms, and holds up in the field. We don't just stock it — we know how to run it, and our engineering team factors material properties into every job setup from the start.

What We Stock

Material Families

Carbon Steel

The workhorse of tube fabrication. Strong, cost-effective, and easy to weld — used in structural, exhaust, hydraulic, and general-purpose applications.

Stainless Steel

Corrosion-resistant and built for demanding environments — food processing, medical, chemical, and marine applications where the material has to hold up over time.

Aluminum

Lightweight with strong corrosion resistance. Common in HVAC, transportation, and heat exchange systems where reducing weight without sacrificing performance is the goal.

Coated Steel Options

Aluminized Steel

Carbon steel with an aluminum-silicon coating for high-heat environments. Common in exhaust systems, heat shields, and industrial applications with elevated temperatures.

Galvanized Steel

Zinc-coated carbon steel built for outdoor exposure. Used in agricultural, structural, and general-purpose applications where weather and corrosion are the main concerns.

Material Quality

Supplier Improvement Program

Vendor Accountability, Built In

The quality of a finished part starts with the raw material. We actively manage our supply chain through vendor scorecards, regular performance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives — tracking delivery performance, material consistency, and responsiveness so what arrives at our dock meets spec and your project stays on schedule.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. What's shown here covers our most commonly stocked families, but we regularly source specialty alloys, tempers, and coatings through our supplier network. Reach out with your requirements and we'll confirm availability.
Every material has different springback, elongation, and work-hardening characteristics. Stainless requires more force and tighter tooling control than carbon steel. Aluminum is softer but more prone to surface marking. Our engineering team selects tooling and process parameters based on the specific material to get clean, in-spec results.
Both are coated carbon steels, but for different environments. Aluminized steel uses an aluminum-silicon coating that handles high heat — common in exhaust and heat shield applications. Galvanized steel uses a zinc coating for corrosion resistance in outdoor and structural applications where temperature isn't a factor.
For our commonly stocked materials, turnaround is driven by fabrication complexity rather than material availability. Less common specs or specialty materials may require sourcing lead time — contact us early in the quoting process and we can give you a realistic timeline.
That's what our engineering team is here for. If you know the application requirements — temperature range, environment, structural loads, weight targets — we can recommend a material that fits the job and is compatible with our fabrication processes.
