Flexor® Steel Offers Economic Alternative To Common Alloy Steels

(Redford, Michigan) - Flexor® steel, developed and sold exclusively by Pennsylvania Steel Corporation, offers viable alternative to common alloys steels. Especially important in today’s economic market, using Flexor® when manufacturing high wear or tough components can result in significant manufacturing and replacement part savings. Flexor’s® unique composition provides it with superior wear, toughness, fatigue strength and tensile strength. Products manufactured using Flexor® experience a longer productive product life due to increased wear resistance and yield strength, reducing replacement costs. Flexor® has excellent machinability given its mechanical properties and can be supplied in many pre-hardened conditions, reducing production time and expenses.

Flexor® is available as a pre-hardened alloy steel that has the unique ability to provide dual properties – especially in the carburized condition -high wear resistance on the surface and a strong, tough core to support the case even under high impact applications. Initially introduced in the late 1940’s, the alloy has been continually improved with new formulations to meet the changing, more demanding requirements of the industrial marketplace. The most recent formulations were developed for tooling used in down hole drilling in the oil and gas industry. Over the past 50 years, Flexor® has continually demonstrated its superior wear, fatigue and tensile strength. Continued development of new formulations has provided the industrial market with a superior product that meets the requirements of today’s high-speed, precise manufacturing. Flexor® is used for high wear products and components in all industries, including precision bolts and pins, wear strips, motor shafts, die shoes and bolsters, transmission components, drilling components and drive shafts.
