Material Reference
Material Reference Table
Below is a table showing regular steel grades used along with their British and international equivalents. When quoting we will usually give the 'AISI SAE' reference along with a Hardness in Rockwell C (HRC) the hardness will depend on the material used and your specific application. Many of these materials we carry in stock and most often will quote in.
