FLEXOR steel has been considered a superior alternative to common alloy steels for over 50 years. FLEXOR steel is a vacuum degassed electric arc furnace melt steel (EAF & LF & VD). All FLEXOR heats are rolled or forged from bottom poured ingots to maximize the reduction ratio and produce optimal grain size. FLEXOR steel is often considered one of the most versatile alloy steels on the market today. Our chemistry alloys us to use a variety of thermal treatments. FLEXOR steel has been effective in providing equal if not superior wear, toughness, fatigue strength and tensile strength characteristics over most common alloy steels such as 4140, 4130, 4150, 4340, 4330V, 300M, 9310, 8620, and 6150.

Industries that have recently enjoyed the benefits of FLEXOR steel include Oil and Gas Drilling, Performance Racing, Material Handling, Forging, and Automotive .

FLEXOR steel has a unique chemistry that allows for consistent superior properties. FLEXOR steel is a Chromium, Molybdenum and Tungsten steel that creates complex carbides and a fine grain structure.	FLEXOR steel's benefits and versatility have enabled our customers to use it for a diverse and abundant number of applications in a variety of industries.
FLEXOR steel's versatility allows it to be compared to through hardening allow steels such as 4140, 4340, 4330V, 300M, as well as case hardening steels such as 8620, 1018, and 9310.	FLEXOR steel is an oil hardening alloy steel which exhibits superior hardenability characteristics. FLEXOR steel's chemistry allows for a variety of thermal treatments while still maintaining consistency and dependability throughout the heat treatment process. FLEXOR steel can be through hardened or case hardened. FLEXOR steel can also be used in the "as rolled" condition which has a typical through hardness of 28-32 HRC.
Due to the excellent machinability of FLEXOR Steel our customers can utilize it in several prehardened conditions. FLEXOR steel can be supplied in the turned, peeled, or ground and polished surface conditions.
