Specialist Suppliers of Stainless Steel

Special Metal Alloys works with specialist producing mills to supply the following grades of stainless steel: Austenitic, Ferritic, Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) and Martensitic.

The most common grade is Austenitic, while Ferritic has a higher corrosion resistance. Duplex steel is very strong and has ductile properties. Martensitic is strong and hard but is only moderately corrosion resistant.

Through a world class supply chain, Special Metal Alloys is able to supply steel on a small or large basis, in any product, form, or alloy. Moreover, fifty percent of all new stainless steel production comes from re-melted stainless steel scrap.

We pride ourselves on delivering precision solutions to meet our clients’ specific requirements.

Specialist Steel Strip Suppliers

Special Metal Alloys is a leading specialist in the supply of stainless steel strip. This includes stainless steel strip temper, precision strip, and narrow or slit-to-width strip.

As an alternative to traditional pancake coils, strip can be supplied in traverse wound coils to minimise machine downtime and consequent costs. Traverse wound coils are harder wearing when engaged in continual feed press production.

Steel strip temper can be rolled to a specific hardness and tension levelled if flatness is an important consideration. Strip can also be re-rolled to tight precision tolerances on width, thickness, tempers, surface and edge finishes.

As part of our specialist service, we offer cut-to-length / blanking, as well as various surfacing options, such as polishing, poly-coating and paper interleaving. Edge finishes include mill edges, deburred edges, slit edges, round cornered edges, rounded edges, square edges and bevelled ends; all dependent on strip size.

Stainless Steel Coil Plate and Flat Bar Specialists

Special Metal Alloys has built a global network of trusted contacts, which encompasses a major independent stainless steel service centre. The diversity of our connections enables us to offer specialist steel products, such as coil plate or sheet, and flat bars in standard or non-standard lengths (up to 20m in plate and 15m in flat bars).

To further meet your specific requirements, we offer de-coiling and levelling, shearing, sheared strips blanking, rolled edge flat bars, polishing and ink jet marking of materials for traceability.

Specialist Steel Forgers

We work with our world-class European partners to supply custom-made rough forged and machine completed products in stainless steel and duplex grades. Special Metal Alloys can deliver a range of forged products, from bars, rounds and squares to flats, discs, rings or bushings.
