What are Universal Stainless And Alloy Products Inc's Business Segments?
Stainless Steel. Stainless steel, which represents the largest part of the
specialty steel market, contains elements such as nickel, chrome and molybdenum
that give it the unique qualities of high strength, good wear characteristics,
natural attractiveness, ease of maintenance and resistance to corrosion and
heat. Stainless steel is used, among other applications, in the aerospace, oil
and gas, power generation and automotive industries, as well as in the manufacturing
of equipment for food handling, health and medical, chemical processing and
pollution control.
High-Strength Low Alloy Steel. High-strength low alloy steel is a relative term
that refers to those steels that maintain alloying elements that range in versatility.
The alloy element of nickel, chrome and molybdenum in such steels typically
exceeds the alloy element of carbon steels but not that of high-temperature
alloy steel. High-strength low alloy steels are manufactured for use generally
in the aerospace industry.
Tool Steel. Tool steels contain elements of nickel, chrome and molybdenum to
produce specific hardness characteristics that enable tool steels to form, cut,
shape and shear other materials in the manufacturing process. Heating and cooling
at precise rates in the heat-treating process bring out these hardness characteristics.
Tool steels are utilized in the manufacturing of metals, plastics, paper and
aluminum extrusions, pharmaceuticals, electronics and optics.
High-Temperature Alloy Steel. These steels are designed to meet critical requirements
of heat resistance and structural integrity. They generally have very high nickel
content relative to other types of specialty steels. High-temperature alloy
steels are manufactured for use generally in the aerospace industry.
