MATERIAL OVERVIEW

ESPI offers Shot, Pellets, Pieces, Chips, Powder and many other forms made up of many different element’s and/or alloys as well as manufactured in numerous purities; up to 6N (99.9999%).

In metal fabrication, there are different complexities that determine and influence the outcome of the resulting product. What greatly affects the form includes what type of metal is being initially used and whether the metals are of a high temperature or low temperature variety. Often, to make one form, it might require a process in which you create one form that results in another. For example, pellets, often start off as rods and then are cut into individual smaller pieces. There are numerous type of forms available from ESPI which are elaborated on other pages. Some forms are of similar style and are included below with additional information about how they are produced.

In addition to standard sizes listed in our online catalog, custom shapes and sizes are available upon request.  If you have a specific requirement contact us by telephone at (800)638-2581, This email address is being protected from spambots.

Characteristics: Soft, ductile, lustrous white solid. Highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals. Resists oxidation, but tarnishes in air through reaction with atmospheric sulfur compounds. Absorbs oxygen strongly at melting point. Soluble in nitric acid, and alkali cyanide solutions, insoluble in water and alkalies. Noncombustible, except as powder.

Hazards: Tolerance (metal) 0.1 mg/m3 of air; (soluble compounds, (as Ag), 0.1 mg/m3 of air).
