Customers rely on our customer service team’s metallurgical knowledge and manufacturing expertise to help them engineer the right product for every project.

We supply products to some of the toughest markets and the most demanding applications in the world, from large offshore oil and gas wells to mining equipment to munitions. Applications in many of these markets include precise material specifications and demand strong, reliable steel. Customers come to us because of the quality of our steel and know that our engineers will pinpoint the optimum material for their project.

We offer over 500 grades of alloy steel and can design a custom chemistry to meet individual application needs. We take a total-process view in material selection, considering aspects such as the customer’s material handling capabilities and manufacturing processes. Beyond metallurgical performance in the final application, we consider the machining, finishing, and heat-treating of the steel, seeking to maximize performance.


Featured Service

Modifying standard grades of steel

Metallus has enhanced standard grades of steel with alloying elements and effective heat treat practices to provide solutions that meet customers’ expectations for strength and toughness in hardworking equipment. We modified a standard grade (4145) to improve the properties required for drill collars and other drilling components in the oil and gas industry. This grade is now sold as 4145HSX.
