BS S80 Stainless Steel Bar
High mechanical properties.
Our BS S80 aerospace-grade stainless steel bars offer good resistance to corrosion.
BS S80 utilises conventional heat-treating methods to create an alloy with high mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance. Typically, the alloy finds use in applications where improved mechanical properties are required compared to 410 stainless steel. Compared to other chromium-nickel grades, BS S80 offers improved machinability. Weldability is good in most conditions, although larger sections will need pre-heating. Corrosion resistance is also superior in comparison with 410 & 416 stainless steel, performing well in mild acids and alkalis, neutral and basic salts and food acids.
Commercial Applications
BS S80 is excellent for general engineering applications, aircraft structural parts, valves, and fasteners.
Stock Availability
We stock BS S80 stainless steel bars in various sizes and conditions (including hardened and tempered conditions).
