| Types | Application considerations |
|---|---|
| Aluminium alloy | |
| 1050 | Popular grade of aluminium for general sheet metal, reflective finish. |
| 5251 | High corrosion resistance particularly in marine environments |
| 6061-T6 | Combines relatively high strength, good workability, and high resistance to corrosion |
| Steel alloy | |
| Mild steel S275 | Suitable for numerous general engineering and structural applications |
| Mild steel S355 | Higher tensile and yield strength than S275 |
| Mild Steel 1018 | General purpose low carbon steel, with excellent weldability |
| Carbon Steel CR4/DC1 | Cold reduced steel sheets, with a smoother surface and a fine finish |
| Galvatite | With iron-zinc alloy coating, produced by hot dip process. Commonly used for gear tray due to its strength and low cost |
| Stainless Steel | |
| 304 | Lowest cost corrosion resistant option, resistant to oxidation |
| 304-2B | 2B finish is a smooth finish, moderately reflective similar to a cloudy mirror. |
| 304-DP1 | Dull Polished one Side otherwise known as Brushed or Satin finish. |
| 316-2B | 2B finish is a smooth finish, moderately reflective similar to a cloudy mirror. |
| 316-DP1 | Dull Polished one Side otherwise known as Brushed or Satin finish. |
| 316-L | Lower carbon content, good for welding. |
| Other | |
| Copper C110 | Highest electrical and thermal conductivity values available from a commercially available copper alloy |
