Heat Resistant Steel
Heat resistant Steel resists large temperature variations and is hardwearing therefore it is commonly used in temperature critical applications. Corrosive resistance, creep resistance, oxygen resistance and hydrogen brittleness are some of its characteristics when exposed to extremely high temperatures. In industry heat resistant steel is used in furnaces, heat exchanges and incinerators where temperatures can reach more than 1100°C.
Studley Special Steels have a wealth of experience supplying heat-resistant stainless steels. Our heat resistant steel offers unique strengh and resistance to corrosion and the stress caused from high temperatures.
Heat-resistant stainless steels have a wide range of applications and we have been suppling clients from some of the following industries:
- Ceramic
- Glass producers
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Food producers
- Incineration plants
- Engineering & Manufacturing
Heat-resistant stainless steels are mainly used as sheets, both as thin sheets and as thick sheets.
The most common grades are:
- Execution 2B (cold rolled, annealed and pickled),
- 2C (cold rolled, annealed and non-descaled),
- 2E (mechanical descaled and pickled),
- 1C (hot rolled, annealed and non-descaled)
- 1D (hot rolled, annealed and pickled)
Precision sheets are also available in
- Execution 2R (cold rolled and bright annealed).
Our "in-house" services can provide profiling, cutting or fabrication work to meet design or specification requirements.
