Steel and Stainless

COLD ROLLED

1045 is a medium carbon steel used extensively in induction hardening applications. This is not normally considered a screw machine steel and is only fair for brazing and welding. However, it can be forged satisfactorily and is the most common shafting steel in the medium carbon range.

HOT ROLLED

A36 is produced to a 36 ksi min yield point. A mild carbon steel with many uses that works well for fabricating, welding, bending and cold forming.
1018 is a general purpose low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. It is especially suited to cold forming and bending operations and has excellent weldability.
1045 is a medium carbon steel used extensively in induction hardening applications. This is not normally considered a screw machine steel and is only fair for brazing and welding. 1045 hot rolled can be used for applications requiring more strength and wear resistance than the low carbon mild steels can provide.

STAINLESS

303 is a free-machining variation of 304. The addition of sulfur for better machinability makes this a favorite for use in automatic screw machines. Corrosion resistant to atmospheric exposures, as well as a wide range of chemicals; most dyes, foods and nitric acid.
304 The most widely used of the austenitic grades, 304 offers good corrosion resistance to many chemicals and industrial atmospheres. Generally considered non-magnetic, it can become slightly magnetic when cold-worked. 304 is non-hardenable by heat treatment. In 304L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03% max. for corrosion resistance at heat affected zones from welding.
316L is an austenitic chrome nickel steel with superior corrosion resistance to that of other chrome nickel steels. Widely used when exposed to chemical corrodents, as well as marine atmospheres. 316L is generally considered non-magnetic, but can become magnetic when cold worked. In 316L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03% max. for corrosion resistance at heat affected zones from welding.

Steel sheaves are an essential component of many industrial applications. They are used to guide and support cables, ropes, and chains, and are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. Steel sheaves are typically made from high-grade steel and are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments. Steel sheaves are chosen for their strength and durability. They are able to withstand high loads and are resistant to corrosion and wear. Steel sheaves are also relatively lightweight, making them easy to install and transport. Steel sheaves are used in a variety of applications, including overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, hoists, and winches. They are also used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. Steel sheaves are often used in combination with other components, such as pulleys, blocks, and shackles, to create a complete lifting system. Steel sheaves are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, including single-groove, double-groove, and multiple-groove.
