Superalloy bar, billet and blooms
Bar from 12 to 300 mm, peeled or ground, cut to the length on your drawing.
Product range
| Form | Size | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Round bar | 12 – 300 mm | Peeled, centreless ground, or hot-rolled |

| Cut length | Fixed or random | Saw cut from the drawing |
Cut, not catalogue
Bar is quoted against the length on the drawing rather than sold in random lengths, because the usable length decides how many parts come out of one cut and therefore the piece price. Where a random length is cheaper for stock, that is stated separately.
Condition
The same grade in annealed and in solution-treated-and-aged condition machines differently and has different properties. Ordering by grade alone leaves the condition open, and the condition is what the drawing usually depends on.
Where it is used
- Machined components
- Fastener stock
- Valve stems and trim
- Furnace fixtures
- Hollows and rings machined from solid
