Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel specifications held in the austenitic, martensitic and precipitation hardening varieties. Stocks are held in British Standard and International standards. Below is listed our most commonly supplied grades; please contact our sales office. Also stock is 301 stainless spring temper rolled strip.
Hi-Steel HSLA-80
Hi - Speed, high Speed Steel Tool Steel (made) : highly processed into the Tool Steel, carbon content high, while containing cr quantity is low (about 4%), reason burnish of Steel surface gloss darker, after heat can reach by HRc62 high hardness, resistance to rust performance not on a roll.
Mould Steel
Steel mould and Steel mould suppliers, global delivery, stock supply Steel mould steels.
Heat Resistant Steel
Heat resistant steel. AS Orlov Izobret. Mashinostr. 3, 48-49, 7/2000. The purpose of this work was to increase plasticity of heat resistant steel after aging at the 500-1300 deg C temperature and to improve its operational reliability.
Tool Steel
Comprehensive stocks held of tool steel, including hot work, cold work and plastic mould tool steel specifications. Below we detail our most common grades. Other British Standard and international special steels and tool steels are also available, please contact our sales office.
Ball Bearing Steel
Supplies Ball bearing steel of all types, along with carbon steel and specialty balls, to OEM's around the world. Also offers platinum balls, brass balls, gold, titanium, aluminum, carbon and plastic balls.
Spring Steel
Carbon spring steel is held in a wide range of sizes. Detailed below are our most common specifications. Carbon steel strip and spring steel sheet is available most commonly in the hardened and tempered condition, though certain sizes are available in the annealed condition. Round and flat bar is stocked in the as rolled condition. Most spring steel specifications are held to British Standard steel specifications including BS1449 & BS970.
Alloy and Carbon Steel
Alloy steel is steel alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts of between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties. Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low alloy steels and high alloy steels. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary: Smith and Hashemi define the difference at 4.0%, while Degarmo, et al., define it at 8.0 %.[1][2] Most commonly, the phrase "alloy steel" refers to "low alloy" steels.

Home » The Difference Between Yield Strength and Tensile Strength
Tensile strength quantifies the force needed to pull a rope, wire, or a structural beam to the stage where it breaks. Specifically, the tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can withhold before failure occurs. Yield strength, or the yield point, is described in engineering science as the point of stress at which any material starts to deform plastically.
Yield strength is one of the types of tensile strength. Yield strength is defined as the yield stress, which is actually the stress level at which a permanent deformation of 0.2% of the original dimension of the material happens, and is defined as the stress level at which a material can withstand the stress before it is deformed permanently.
Before reaching the yield point, the material will distort elastically, and returns to its original shape when there is a repression and the stress is removed. Beyond the yield point, there would definitely be some sort of permanent deformation in the material which cannot be reversed.
In structural engineering, yield is defined as the everlasting plastic deformation of a structural member when stress is applied. Tensile strength is based around a lot of factors, which includes Elastic Limit – which is defined as the lowest stress at which permanent deformation is able to be measured. This needs a complex iterative load-unload procedure, and is gravely dependent on the precision of the apparatus and the ability of the machinist. It is also based around Proportional Limit, the point at which the stress-strain curve becomes non-linear. In most metallic materials, the elastic limit and proportional limit are fundamentally identical.
Summary:
Tensile strength is the degree used to measure the force which is required to pull something, for instance, a wire, a structural beam or maybe a rope to the stage where it breaks. On the other hand, yield strength, or the yield point, is the point of stress at which any material will deform plastically
