View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

UGIMA NSU and UGIMA 303 are the same grades designated differently for the European and North American markets, respectively. They are resulfurized grades with calcium added. Carefully controlled steelmaking results in a composition with oxides that have a low melting point and produce a lubricating effect during machining. Gains in the cutting conditions of 25 to 50% are typical on computer numerical control (CNC) lathe or classical machine work.
