METAL FOR THE WAY YOU BUILD

Cut-to-size metal.
Built around your project.

SteelRaw brings aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and copper into one cut-to-size metal quote request. Choose a profile, enter dimensions in inches or millimeters, and keep every piece together for review.

MATCH THE METAL TO THE PART

Which metal should you choose?

Start with the part's environment, the work planned after cutting and the surfaces that matter. A material name is only the beginning: the alloy, stock condition and profile help define the right starting point for your project.

Compare five metals before choosing a grade and profile
MaterialA useful starting pointWhat to decide
Aluminum Lightweight panels, machined blanks and visible profiles where the next fabrication step helps guide the alloy choice.Separate forming needs from machining needs, then consider temper, mating surfaces and any planned finish.
Carbon steel Machine parts, fabricated assemblies and frame members with a defined section and material requirement.Carry the required grade into the request; stock condition, machining allowance and corrosion protection are separate decisions.
Stainless steel Panels, components and profiles where the service environment and finished surface deserve particular attention.Compare the specified grade, exposure and cleaning conditions, then identify visible faces and the required finish.
Brass Visible hardware, formed sheet details and machined components where appearance and the fabrication route both matter.Choose the alloy for the process, flag any lead restrictions and describe the desired surface independently of its color.
Copper Decorative sheet work and components whose design calls for copper, including specified electrical parts.Follow the required alloy and connection details; a stock size or weight estimate does not establish an electrical rating.

Use this as a starting comparison. The material guides explain the listed grades, finishes and geometry; the right specification also depends on the part's operating conditions and fabrication.

A QUOTE BUILT FROM YOUR CUT LIST

How do you request cut-to-size metal?

Build one list around the work you need done. Separate the starting material from finished-part features so the review can address the complete scope.

How it works ↗
  1. Choose the starting stock

    Pick a material and profile, then add dimensions and quantity for each distinct piece. Distinguish solid bar from hollow tube and raw blank dimensions from finished dimensions. If a drawing already defines the part, use it as the reference.

  2. Add the details that change the job

    Include the required grade, condition, finish and critical tolerances. Attach drawings for holes, bends, joints or other features beyond a simple blank. Add the delivery ZIP code, receiving location and requested date so the material and logistics can be considered together.

  3. Review the complete proposal

    Compare the proposed material, cutting scope, dimensions, price and delivery with your requirements. Resolve substitutions and open questions before agreeing to an order. Submitting the request starts that review; it does not authorize payment or establish a confirmed production or delivery schedule.

BEFORE YOU BUILD YOUR CUT LIST

Questions about ordering cut-to-size metal.

Start with the essentials here. Each material and product guide goes deeper into grades, dimensions and practical selection.

What metal can I request from SteelRaw?

The catalog covers aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and copper across 39 material and profile combinations. The ten profiles include sheet, plate, solid bars, hollow tubes, angle and channel. Each material has its own listed range. These are requestable families; the actual grade, section and cutting scope are reviewed for your project.

Explore the material range
How do I request a quote for my parts?

Add each distinct material, profile and size to the cut list with its quantity. Then include project requirements, useful files and your contact and delivery details. You can also begin with a drawing when a standard cut line cannot describe the work. The submitted request brings that information together for scope review.

Build your quote request
Can I use inches, millimeters or fractional dimensions?

Yes. Choose inches or millimeters for each cut line; the dimension fields accept decimals and fractions such as 1/4 or 1 1/2. Use one unit consistently within that line. Tubes need actual outside dimensions and wall thickness. Also distinguish a raw machining blank from the finished size shown on your part drawing.

Check a dimension conversion
What if I know the part I need but not the alloy?

Select Please advise where the grade is undecided, and explain the part's purpose, environment and planned fabrication. A folded cover, a machined block and a visible frame can lead to different material questions. Include any existing drawing requirement; a proposed alternative should be reviewed against that requirement before it becomes an agreed substitution.

Compare material selection criteria
Can one request include different metals and profiles?

Yes. One project can contain, for example, aluminum plate blanks, stainless sheet panels and carbon steel frame members. Keep each distinct combination of material, profile and dimensions on its own line, with the appropriate quantity. Part names and drawing references help connect the list to your assembly without combining unlike pieces into one ambiguous total.

Organize a mixed-material cut list
Does cut to size include holes, bends, finishing or tight tolerances?

A cut-to-size blank and a finished component are different scopes. Holes, bends, threads, coatings and defined edge treatments need their own requirements and review. State critical tolerances for the features that matter, including whether they apply before or after later processing. Entering a dimension does not establish a guaranteed process, tolerance or additional fabrication service.

Define the cutting and finishing scope
Where can I see prices, availability and lead times?

These are resolved through the reviewed quote rather than a live stock or instant-price display. The requested grade, section, quantity, cutting requirements and delivery location all belong in that review. Add your needed-by date as a project requirement, then check the proposed schedule and commercial terms before making arrangements that depend on them.

See how the quote review works
Can I attach drawings and request material documentation?

Yes. Attach the current drawings or parts list and identify the controlling revision when several files describe the same part. Use the documentation field to request a material test report, certificate of conformity or other specified records. A drawing defines the part; documentation establishes the evidence requested with the material. Neither requirement should be left implicit.
