Specify Allegheny Ludlum when you order stainless and specialty steel strip.
Each strip product is made to your specification. With proper prints, parts and description of environmental condition, the most suitable strip supplied to your specification can best be achieved. Allegheny Ludlum offers fully integrated production of a complete line of stainless steel strip in all standard grades and finishes. These are ideal for applications requiring corrosion resistance, strength, durability and ease of cleaning. Our Precision Rolled StripTM products are tailor-made for specific end uses in the lighter strip thicknesses. These products are typically produced to very tight dimensional, surface, and metallurgical property tolerances.

*Width through 48" maximum

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the gage aim will be on the minus side of the tolerance.

A7 (2.3% C, 5.25% Cr, 4.75% V, 1.1% Mo, 1.1% W) An air hardening grade with outstanding abrasion resistance but lower toughness than D2. For use on tooling for maximum production runs. (T30107) D2 (1.5% C, 12% Cr, 1% Mo, .8% V) - An air hardening grade with good nondeforming properties. Widely used in applications requiring high abrasion resistance and high compressive strength, such as blanking, forming and stamping dies, forming and scanning rolls, slitters and gages. (T30402) S7 (.5% C, 3.25% Cr, 1.4% Mo, .7% Mn) - An air hardening grade with excellent toughness and suitable for shock resisting service for both hot and cold work tooling applications. Typical uses in blanking, forming and perforating dies, shear blades, chisels, plastic molds, punches, hot gripper and header dies and hot swaging dies. (T41907) H13 (.37% C, 5% Cr, 1.35% Mo, 1% V, 1% Si) - An excellent hot work grade with an outstanding combination of shock resistance, red hardness, and abrasion resisting properties. Typical applications include die casting dies, hot forging dies, hot press dies, die holder blocks, hot work punches and plastic molding dies. (T20813) M2 (.84% C, 4.15% Cr, 4.65% Mo, 5.65% W, 1.85% V) - A high speed steel with an excellent combination of wear resistance, toughness and hot hardness. Suitable for general purpose cutting tool applications, such as boring tools, broaches, chasers, cutters drills, lathe tools, and forming dies. (T11302) M3 (1.07% C, 4% Cr, 5.1% Mo, 5.5% W, 2.4% V) Slightly higher wear resistance and lower toughness than M2. Typical applications similar to that of M2. (T11313) 420ESR (.35% C, 13% Cr) - This stainless steel grade is an air or oil hardening mold steel having superior internal cleanliness combined with good corrosion resistance. Capable of providing excellent polished surface quality. (S42000) Grades S5, L6 and O2 as well as many other tool steels or tooling related grades are available in heat lot quantities.
