Alloy Steel Sheet Grades

This article is the first of a four part series on the different types of steel.

Alloy steel sheet grades.

Our clients can expect a diverse range of alloy steel in any form necessary including plates sheets bars tubing pipes and wire. For instance 17 7ph is a stainless steel alloy containing 17 percent chromium and 7 percent nickel that is strengthened through controlled precipitation. We offer a wide range of plate sizes which are accessible thickness range from 6 to 10 mm.

High carbon steel is very difficult to cut bend and weld. All have the ability to absorb impact and bounce back to shape after deflection. A879 a879m 12 2017 standard specification for steel sheet zinc coated by the electrolytic process for applications requiring designation of the coating mass on each surface. Standard specification for steel sheet zinc 5 aluminum alloy coated by the hot dip process.

The sae steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system sae j1086 numbering metals and alloys for steel grades maintained by sae international. The sa 387 grade alloy steel plate is primarily used in welded pressure vessels where improved toughness is required. In the 1930s and 1940s the american iron and steel institute aisi and sae were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels. In essence steel is composed of iron and carbon although it is the amount of carbon as well as the level of impurities and additional alloying elements that determine the properties.

Choose from spring steel alloys 1065 1075 1080 and 1095 as well as 5160 alloy steel. Once heat treated it becomes extremely hard and brittle. Liquefied gas storage bimetallic strips for thermometers lng tv aperture masks composite wing molds standards of length measuring devices laser components bi metal thermostat strip thermostat rods and tanks and piping for storing and transporting liquefied gases. Continental steel tube has decades long experience has a supplier of the high quality reliable alloy steel.

In addition some grades now are being designated in the 6xx series. It is a low alloy pressure vessel quality steel for high temperatures. According to the world steel association there are over 3 500 different grades of steel encompassing unique physical chemical and environmental properties. Alloy steel can be fabricated to almost any density for a wide variety of strength specifications.
