Spinning rods

Hot-rolled and forged alloy pig iron

Alloyed grain oriented steels are high strength steels designed to withstand high stress and wear. These steels are made from carbon steel with small amounts of other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum. Alloying increases the strength and hardness of the steel, but also its toughness, which is an important property when the steel is used under stressful conditions.

Quenching is a heat treatment process that improves the properties of steel. Alloyed grain refining steels are heat treated in a special way which, after cooling, includes reheating and slow cooling. This process makes the steel stronger and more durable.

The rods can be cut to the appropriate length for the application. Alloyed grain oriented steels as rods are commonly used in the construction industry, offshore applications, mechanical engineering and other applications where high strength and durability steel materials are required. These steels are commonly used for applications such as shafts, crankshafts, valves, pistons and other parts where excellent strength, hardness and wear resistance are required.
