BS S156 Steel Bar

Offering wear resistance after heat treatment.

BS S156 is a high strength aerospace steel grade that offers hard wear resistance after surface treatment.

BS S156 steel bars are wear-resistant with high strength and are classed as case-hardening steel.

BS S156 is a high-strength aerospace steel grade that offers hard wear resistance after surface treatment. The strength of the alloy is 1,320 - 1,520 MPa and is manufactured by the process of VAR (vacuum arc remelting), which is a typical process for speciality steel grades). Both bars and forgings should be ultrasonically tested if possible and receive final heat treatment, which entails carburising, hardening and tempering.


Surface Hardness

The surface hardness of the alloy, after receiving carburising, quenching, sub-zero treatment and tempering processes, will be around 730HV. The resulting product finds use in applications such as highly stressed aircraft parts, motorsport components and helicopter gears.
