Special alloy steel is steel alloyed with other elements, usually molybdenum, manganese, chromium, vanadium, silicon, boron or nickel, in amounts of up to 10% by weight to improve the harden ability of thick sections. It can be defined as an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. This material is also called corrosion resistant steel when it is not detailed exactly to its alloy type and grade, particularly in the aviation industry. There are different and easily accessible grades and surface finishes of stainless steel, to suit the environment to which the material will be subjected in its lifetime. One everyday basis, stainless steel are used in cutlery and watch straps.
Alloy steels have higher resistance to oxidation (rust) and corrosion in many natural and man made environments; however, it is important to select the correct type and grade of stainless steel for the particular application. Some of the special alloy steels we deal and distribute are :-
- High Tensile Alloy Constructions
- Construction Steel
- Carbon Chromium Steel
