What is Aluminum Alloy?

An aluminum alloy is a chemical composition where other elements are added to pure aluminum in order to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength. These other elements include iron, silicon, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc at levels that combined may make up as much as 15 percent of the alloy by weight. Alloys are assigned a four-digit number, in which the first digit identifies a general class, or series, characterized by its main alloying elements.

 

What is Stainless Steel?

Stainless Steel, also known as high-alloy steel, is a type of alloy steel that resists rust and other forms of corrosion. High-alloy steels contain a high percentage of alloying elements. As the most common of the high-alloy steels, stainless steel’s alloying element is chromium, which it contains at a quantity of over 10%. Chromium also helps with heat resistance. Stainless steel is used where the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are both required. It contains sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, also referred to as the latent layer, which prevents further surface corrosion. These factors, combined with its low maintenance, make it an ideal material for many applications. It’s available in coils, sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing.
Stainless steel is often used for household appliances in kitchens, laundry rooms, and garages. Some common applications for stainless steel include cookware, cutlery, household hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances, and industrial equipment (for example, in sugar refineries). It’s also regularly found in the automotive and aerospace industries, and in construction materials for large buildings.

 

What is Alloy Steel?

Alloy steel is composed of iron and other elements such as carbon, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, vanadium, tungsten and cobalt. These additions provide specific characteristics not found in regular carbon steel, such as improved strength, corrosion resistance, or improved wear resistance. The specific combination of elements and their proportions will determine each grade’s properties. Alloy steels are commonly used in a variety of applications, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

 

What are Nickel Alloys?

Nickel alloys are engineered materials that combine nickel with other elements such as chromium, iron, molybdenum, or copper to achieve enhanced properties. Known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and durability, nickel alloys are indispensable in demanding environments. They are widely used across industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, marine, power generation, and oil and gas, where exposure to extreme heat, pressure, and corrosive substances is common. With their ability to maintain structural integrity under challenging conditions, nickel alloys play a critical role in applications ranging from jet engines and heat exchangers to medical devices and industrial equipment. Their versatility and performance make them a go-to choice for advanced engineering and manufacturing.

 

What is Engineering Plastic?

Plastic includes a large and varied group of materials consisting of different combinations or formulations of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and other elements.
The benefits of plastics: they are strong, lightweight, flexible, durable, sheer and environmentally friendly. Plastic materials are offered in many shapes and compositions for use in countless commercial and manufacturing applications, including clothing, housing, automobiles, aircraft, packaging, electronics, signs, recreation items and medical implants, which are only a few of their many applications.
Plastics from Hadco are perfect for use in machine guards, noise abatements, general safety guards and protection, work surfaces, valve seats, gaskets, pump components, ducts, and more. We believe plastic offers a great, sustainable alternative to many of our metal products. Oftentimes, plastic is used to replace metals and glass for improved performance and economic benefits. Our plastic materials are Acetal bars and sheets, Nylon 6\6 bars and sheets, UHMW sheets and bars, PTFE bars, which can all be cut-to-size to suit your needs and reach your doorstep just-in-time. We carry Sheet/Plate plastic and Round Bar plastic in stock.
