Description
An alloy steel is a type of steel combined with more than one element (alloying elements). Alloying elements increase strength, hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, producing more robust and substantive steel. The alloying elements added to the base iron and carbon structure typically total no more than 5% of the alloy steel’s material composition.
Steel Alloy Advantages
Whether your project requires advanced corrosion resistance, machinability, strength, or a bevy of other qualities, there is an alloy steel that provides the features you need. With added heat treatment, alloy steels can offer a wide range of beneficial attributes, including:
Enhanced corrosion resistance
Increased hardenability
Superior strength and hardness
Unique alloyed features
