Alloy Steel Castings & Forgings
Low-alloy steels combine the economy of carbon steel with greater strength, toughness and hardenability. Monmet supplies cast and forged components with heat treatment and acceptance criteria set by the customer's drawing or purchase order.
Quick answer
Low-alloy steel adds strength, toughness and hardenability beyond carbon steel, making it the choice for crankshafts, pump shafts, gear blanks, mill rolls and high-pressure valve internals. Monmet supplies cast and forged low-alloy steel components, with the heat-treatment condition and hardness set by the customer's drawing or purchase order.
Material Range
Low-alloy steels for through-hardening, surface-hardening, elevated-temperature and high-toughness service are supplied to your drawing or purchase order.
Heat Treatment
Quench and temper to the hardness stated on your drawing or purchase order; through-hardened, induction-hardened, carburized and nitrided variants supplied on request.
Typical Applications
Crankshafts, pump shafts, gear blanks, mill rolls, drilling components, high-pressure valve internals.
