Boron Steel

Boron-alloyed steel offers hardness, high strength, and wear resistance. Our treatment processes help tailor its properties for optimal performance.

Boron steel is a popular material for automotive applications because of its high strength-to-weight ratio. Manufacturers use it for components including crash reinforcements and door beams. These grades are also used in in agriculture components such as blades and plowshares.

Some of our Boron grades include:

  • CS or DS with Boron (for increased formability)
  • 10B21
  • 10B22
  • 10B38
  • DIB (Door Impact Beam)

Weathering Grade Steel

Weathering grade steel contains small amounts of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus, which form a protective patina when exposed to the elements. It offers corrosion resistance and high structural strength. Weathering-grade steel is a popular choice for outdoor applications that require these qualities, such as:

  • Bridges
  • Building facades
  • Shipping containers

Barsteel Corporation provides specialty boron steel distribution services to help you meet your production goals. Request a quote to learn more.

Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ) Steel

Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ) Steel is a special type of steel engineered to meet ASTM and ASME requirements for high-pressure applications. It can withstand extreme pressures without compromising function, reliability, or safety. PVQ steel requires extensive testing to ensure it meets rigorous industry standards required for safe operation for pressure vessels. Additional qualities of PVQ steel include:

  • High strength
  • High temperature tolerance
  • Toughness to absorb energy without fracturing
  • Weldability

Floor Plate

Floor Plate, frequently referred to as Diamond Plate or Tread Plate, has a raised diamond lug pattern that offers skid resistance.  Floor Plate is commonly used as flooring in various applications but also in tool boxes and on dock plates.

We offer floor plate in the following grades:

  • Commercial Quality
  • SS36 / A36
  • Grade 50
