From a low carbon iron for electro-magnetic applications (S1), our range of low carbon steels (S3, S4) can be produced to meet specific strength and hardness requirements. Higher hardenability, wear resistance and sub-zero impact criteria are achieved through minor alloying additions and precise heat treatment control (R60-R67).

An additional series of steels resistant to high temperature creep is developed by alloying low and medium carbon steels with chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten (R68-R72). Nickel is added to many of these grades to improve sub-zero impact properties (R66).
