Materials & Finishes

High-quality, high-strength materials and finishes produce the exact part for your application.

High-strength material offerings for even the most demanding environments

At Rotor Clip, we understand that different applications demand specialized materials to withstand varying operating temperatures, load cycles and corrosive environments. That’s why we proudly manufacture parts using a diverse range of high-quality materials, including high carbon spring steel, stainless steel grades, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze alloys and an array of specialty materials.

Although carbon steel is our standard offering for most parts, we maintain a vast inventory of steel materials —including sometimes hard-to-find materials — to ensure that you have the right part to suit your requirements, in the right material, while maintaining prompt turnaround times.

The parts are heat treated for added toughness and may be phosphate coated to protect against corrosion at no additional cost. Customers may select from a wide variety of finishes such as oils, platings, phosphates, zincs and passivation options for further part protection.

And when it comes to ensuring reliability for critical applications like defense and aerospace, you can count on Rotor Clip. Pre-stamped, partially finished parts are readily available for quick coating with military and ASTM-grade finishes. We also stock pre-tested, pre-approved materials — including stainless steels — to respond to aerospace manufacturers’ and contractors’ needs for made-to-order components.
