Furnished in pre-hardened condition, this material is tougher than BARTEMP-M (MARTINSITE), allowing the fabrication of parts where various shaping technologies, such as blanking, bending, drawing, stretching, extrusion, coining, or swaging might be involved. Because the material is already hardened, the following benefits can be realized:

Theis offers hardened and tempered alloy steel for many applications. There are many grades and thicknesses available, with properties that include high wear resistance and high formability.

Theis uses electron beam welding technology extensively for welding high speed tool steel to high strength low alloy backing steel for the saw industry. The same technology is used in fabrications in these industries:

Formability - the capacity of steel to sustain transverse or longitudinal bends without failure - depends on strip ductility. Barco-Form is a spheroidized annealed product of Theis Precision Steel USA. Special annealing temperatures and rolling practices gives this steel excellent ductility.
