Alloy Bar

Wilkinson Steel and Metals is exiting the alloy bar market in order to focus on our core products and markets. We are liquidating our entire stock, and are prepared to offer significant volume price discounts to qualified parties. Please contact alloybar@wilkinsonsteel.com with any inquiries.

Alloy Bars are fine grain steels with significant additions of alloying elements. They exhibit superior strength, toughness and abrasion resistance over non-alloy bars.

 There are two general categories of alloy steels: the high strength low alloy types which rely largely on chemical composition to develop desired mechanical properties in the as-rolled or normalized condition; and the constructional alloy steels in which the desired properties are developed by thermal treatment.

Why Use Alloy Bar?

*For Strength – Yield, Tensile.
*For Toughness – Notch Impact Strength.
*For Fatigue Strength.
*For a balance between Strength and Toughness.
*For Abrasion Resistance.
*For increased Corrosion Resistance.
*For increased Hardenability.
*For improved Mechanical Properties at low and high temperatures.

 Special Requirements

 Consider the following for various grades of alloy bar to ensure you get bars that work best for you:
1) Machinability
2) Additional Heat Treatment
3) Weldability

Heat Treatments Available

1) Quenched and Tempered – Hardens the Steel
2) Normalized – Improves Machinability and Toughness
3) Annealed – Softens the Steel
