AISI 8750 Alloy Steel (UNS G87500)

Steels that contain specific amounts of alloying elements other than carbon and common elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, copper and manganese are known as alloy steels. Alloying elements are added to change mechanical or physical properties.

AISI 1045 Carbon Steel (UNS G10450)

Carbon steels are a category of steels with 0.12 to 2% carbon content. AISI 1045 is a medium carbon steel designed to be able to function in areas requiring greater strength and hardness.

Stainless Steel Grade 317LM (UNS S31725)

Stainless steel grade 317LM is a low-carbon, higher molybdenum austenitic stainless steel. It also has higher nickel content than stainless steel grade 317L. This alloy has been designed to resist corrosion due to sulfuric acid compounds.

Grade H25 Tool Steel (UNS T20825)

Tools steels are special steels used to cut or change the shape of a material into a semi-finished or finished product. With a carbon content between 0.7% and 1.5%, tool steels are manufactured under carefully controlled conditions to produce the desired quality.
