Stainless steel is an alloy, which is iron-based and contains various combinations of other elements to give it characteristics suitable for a wide range of applications. The element that makes stainless steel stainless is chromium. By definition, any steel, which contains a minimum of 11% chromium, is a stainless steel. The chromium content in the steel produces a rich, transparent oxide film, which coats the steel and protects it from corrosion and oxidation.

Forgings refer to products manufactured by the process of shaping metal utilizing compressive forces. The compressive forces used are generally delivered via pressing, pounding, or squeezing under great pressure. Although there are many different kinds of forging processes available, they can be grouped into three main classes: Drawn out: length increases, cross-section decreases Upset: length decreases, cross-section increases Squeezed in closed compression dies: produces multidirectional flow Forging produces pieces that are stronger than an equivalent cast or machined part. As the metal is shaped during the forging process, the internal grain deforms to follow the general shape of the part. This results in a grain that is continuous throughout the part, resulting in its high strength characteristics. Forgings are broadly classified as either cold, warm or hot forgings, according to the temperature at which the processing is performed. Iron and steel are nearly always hot forged, which prevents the work hardening that would result from cold forging. Work hardening increases the difficulty of performing secondary machining operations on the metal pieces. When work hardening is desired, other methods of hardening, most notably heat treating, may be applied to the piece. Alloys such as aluminum and titanium that are amenable to precipitation hardening can be hot forged, followed by hardening. Because of their high strength, forgings are almost always used where reliability and human safety are critical such as in the aerospace, automotive, ship building, oil drilling, engine and petrochemical industries.

Superalloys, or High Temperature Alloys, are alloys that exhibit several key characteristics: excellent mechanical strength, resistance, thermal creep deformation, good surface stability and resistance to corrosion or oxidation. The term ‘superalloy’ was coined after World War II to describe alloys developed for use in turbine engines and turbo-superchargers that required high performance at elevated temperatures. The three major classes of superalloys are nickel-, iron-, and cobalt-based alloys. Since 1978, ASM has been supplying High Temperature Superalloys to the aerospace, and petroleum-chemical processing industries.

Aluminum and its alloys are today considered one of the most practical of metals for a variety of reasons. Its low cost, light-weight, and modern appearance are among the primary reasons for its widespread use. It is non-sparking, electrically conductive, thermally conductive, non-magnetic, reflective, and chemically resistant. It is popular in the construction, marine and aircraft industries because of its ease of fabrication, non-toxicity, strength (pound-for pound), and resistance to the corrosive atmospheres of industry and marine environments. Anodizing increases this corrosion resistance and also permits iridescent finishes in different colors. Some alloys are slightly corrosive and so are cladded with a thin layer of aluminum for added protection.

ASM Aerospace Specification Metals Inc. is a Florida based distributor of quality Titanium metal products. Specializing in quality titanium sheet, plate, coil, rod, bar, forgings, tubing and extrusions, we have been a leading supplier of aircraft quality titanium since 1978. Titanium is 30% stronger than steel, but is nearly 50% lighter. Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminum, but twice as strong. Titanium has excellent strength retention to 1, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. Titanium is alloyed with aluminum, manganese, iron, molybdenum and other metals to increase strength, to withstand high temperatures, and to lighten the resultant alloy. Titanium’s high corrosion resistance is also a valuable characteristic; as when exposed to the atmosphere, titanium forms a tight, tenacious oxide film that resists many corrosive materials, particularly salt water.
