AISI 4130
AISI 4130 is a chromium-molybdenum based heat treatable steel. Its tensile strength after heat treatment is 860 N/mm2. Welded areas require heat treatment after welding to retain strength.
15CDV6 is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium heat treatable steel with high strength after heat treatment (1080-1280 N/mm2). It is easily welded and does not require localised heat treatment after welding.
T45 is a carbon-manganese steel with a tensile strength (Rm) of 700/900 N/mm2. Fit finds many applications in the motorsport and aerospace industries due to relatively high strength to weight ratio and reduced requirement for localised heat treatment after welding.
S80 is a heat treatable chromium-nickel 431 type stainless steel in bar form. With a high chromium content of around 15% it is used in aerospace and defence components subject to high stresses up to temperatures of around 400°C.
S132 is a 3% Cr-Mo-V nitriding steel. It offers high strength and develops a hard wear resistant case after surface treatment. It is generally available in bars and forgings for use in gearbox shafts and crankshafts.
S143 is a precipitation hardening stainless steel with high mechanical strength and moderate to good corrosion resistance in a variety of media and is similar to that of basic 300 series stainless steels, with good machinability and weldability.
S98 is a 2½% nickel-chromium-molybdenum high carbon steel which is generally available in bars and forgings. Tensile strength (Rm) 1180-1420 N/mm2.
S99 is a 2½% nickel-chromium-molybdenum high carbon steel which is generally available in bars and forgings.
S145 is a precipitation hardening stainless steel with high strength and moderate to good corrosion resistance. It has an identical chemical composition as S143 and S144 but higher

S145 is a precipitation hardening stainless steel with high strength and moderate to good corrosion resistance. It has an identical chemical composition as S143 and S144 but higher tensile strength than both, achieved through heat treatment. (Rm) 1230-1420 N/mm2.
S154 is a 2½% nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel generally available in bars and forgings. Tensile strength (Rm) 880-1080 N/mm2.
S155 is a Ni-Ci-Cr-Mo-V (VAR) British Standard aerospace grade, vacuum arc re-melted, through hardenable steel. It is generally used for aircraft, defence and Autosport components.
S156 is a 4% nickel-chromium-molybdenum case hardening steel which is generally available in bars and forgings. S156 is used for aircraft engineering, defence and Autosport applications. S156 is a VAR version of S82.
S157 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum case hardening steel which is often used for applications such as gears that require high core strength and toughness. Tensile strength 1180-1380 N/mm2.

S162 is ultra high strength (1800 MPa) with good toughness and readily machinable in pre-aged condition. It has excellent transverse properties and its main application is drive-shafts.
S524 is an Austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel stabilised with titanium. It is available in hardened/tempered sheet and strip and is suitable for medium strength components requiring good corrosion resistance and cold workability. S524 also has good weldability. Tensile strength (Rm) 800-1100 N/mm2.
S514 is a carbon-manganese steel available in sheet and strip. It is supplied heat treated to produce tensile strength (Rm) 770-100 N/mm2.
