CARBON ALLOY

Although carbon alloy is produced to commercial specification for the automotive and oil tool industries, we are primarily involved with the supply of these materials to aircraft or military specification. These grades of steels have had Chromium, Nickel and/or Molybdenum added to facilitate heat treatment. Carbon alloy is produced in the form of round, square, flat and hex bar, as well as in tubing, sheet and plate. The material is available in the following physical and surface conditions, although a particular size will not be available in all conditions from stock.

The following is a summary of the symbols used in military (MIL) specifications to designate various conditions of materials.

Physical Condition Surface Condition
A - As Forged 1 - As Forged or Rolled
B - As Rolled 2 - Pickled or Blast Cleaned
C - Annealed 3 - Rough Turned
D - Normalized 4 - Cold Finished
E - Normalized & Tempered    5 - Turned, Ground & Polished
F - Quenched & Tempered  

The following is a listing of the most common grades of aircraft quality carbon alloy and some of the specifications to which they are standardly produced for stock.
