BS S156 Steel Bar
Offering wear resistance after heat treatment.
BS S156 steel bars are wear-resistant with high strength and are classed as case-hardening steel.
BS S156 is a high-strength aerospace steel grade with hard wear resistance after surface treatment. The strength of the alloy is 1,320 - 1,520 MPa and is manufactured by the process of VAR (vacuum arc remelting), which is a typical process for speciality steel grades). If possible, bars and forgings should be ultrasonically inspected and receive final heat treatment, which entails carburising, hardening and tempering.
Surface Hardness
The alloy's surface hardness, after receiving carburising, quenching, sub-zero treatment, and tempering processes, will be around 730HV. The resulting product finds use in applications such as highly stressed aircraft parts, motorsport components, and helicopter gears.
Stock Availability
We stock BS S156 steel bars in various incremental sizes and conditions (including normalised and softened conditions).
