Specialty grades of stainless steel and other specialty alloys have been designed for virtually every cold heading, forming, upsetting, and extruding operation.
They are necessary for the growing number of fastener components that must have the corrosion resistance and strength to withstand harsh environments, high operating temperatures, and great pressures, as well as requirements for special magnetic properties. For all such components, alloy selection has also been governed by the need to reduce part costs and...
