| | Your choices are... | | |
| | Aluminum | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from aluminum. Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. |
| | Copper Alloy | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from a copper alloy, such as brass or bronze. Alloys have significant amounts of intentionally-added alloying elements or constituents. |
| | Cast Iron | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from cast iron. The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed. |
| | Plastic | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from plastic. Plastic refers to any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. |
| | Stainless Steel | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from stainless steel. Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. |
| | Steel | | The clamp body is primarily manufactured from steel. Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. |
