Heat Resistant Steel means that the steel is resistant to scaling at temperatures higher than 500 deg C. Heat resistant steels are meant for use at temperatures.
Such steel is generally used in applications where resistance to increased temperatures is critical. The steel is hard wearing and offers a resistance to large variations in temperature. Industrial applications include furnaces, heat exchanges and incinerators where temperatures can reach in excess of 1100°C.
Characteristics include corrosive resistance, creep resistance, oxidation resistance and hydrogen brittleness - all under extremely high temperatures. Our steels are made from nickel and titanium based alloys for outstanding high temperature performance.
The range offered by us includes plate, sheet, bar, pipe, tube and fittings. Standard and non standard sizes are available from stock, items outside of current stock can be produced rolled to size (utilising allocated rolling programmes).
Heat resistant steel is strengthened using alloys, heat treatment, solid solution, and precipitation. Chromium is latest in all types of heat resistant steels, offering oxidation resistance, high-temperatures strength, and carburization resistance. Chromi
