SB Specialty Metals offers a premium line of Tool Steels and High Speed Steels to meet your most demanding tooling applications. We now carry conventional and air melted materials as well as ESR and VAR produced grades. These materials, along with Powder Products and Spray Form products allow our customers to choose from a full line of material options.
ESR(Electro-Slag-Remelt) and VAR(Vacuum-Arc-Remelt) produced grades have improved internal cleanliness and homogeneity. ESR and VAR are secondary melting processes which improve material cleanliness and enhance the internal structure of the material. These material improvements result in better tools, dies, and molds for the end user. And to complete our line of premium products also includes Powder Products and Spray Form products.
