Introduction
Welcome to Atlas Specialty Metals, the leading stockist and distributor of
stainless and special metals for Australia and New Zealand.
In 1918 Atlas Steels began the manufacturing of tool steels in Canada and by 1938 was
the major producer of tool and specialty steels in the country. In the years since 1918
many of the businesses that Atlas started world wide have been absorbed into other
companies and today the only one still remaining and maintaining the Atlas name in the
specialty metals industry is Atlas Group Holdings Limited which evolved from the
Canadian parent when they established operations in Australia in 1939.
The Distribution business of Atlas Steels changed its trading name to Atlas Specialty
Metals in 2003 to more reflect the nature of the products now being marketed.
In many respects the Atlas of today with operations in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia
and Thailand remains true to the vision of its forefathers and still retains its focus and
strength in specialty metals but with a larger products base in stainless steels, alloy
steels, aluminium and carbon steels in specialised applications.
The Atlas of today is a fully owned Australian public company, with a distribution
warehousing and metals processing network that encompasses more than 20 major
cities and towns across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
For more information about Atlas, please visit our website at www.atlasmetals.com.au

The group of alloys which today make up the family of stainless steels had their
beginnings in 1913 in Sheffield, England. Harry Brearley was testing a number of alloys 3
for possible gun barrel steels and observed that samples cut from one of these trial S1
heats did not rust. Upon investigation it was shown to contain 13% chromium and
this discovery lead to the development of stainless for use in cutlery, for which Sheffield
became famous. Coincidentally, at about the same time, development work was also
being carried out in France and Germany, which resulted in the production of the first
austenitic stainless steel.
Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing a minimum of about 10.5% chromium.
The chromium forms a protective self-healing oxide film, which is the reason why this
group of steels has its characteristic ‘stainlessness’ or corrosion resistance. The ability
of the oxide layer to heal itself means that the steel is corrosion-resistant, no matter
how much of the surface is removed.
Although all stainless steels depend on the presence of chromium, other alloying
elements are often added to enhance their properties. The categorisation of stainless
steels is unusual amongst metals in that it is based upon the nature of their metallurgical
structure. Depending on the exact chemical composition of the steel the microstructure
may be made up of the stable phases of austenite or ferrite, a ‘duplex’ mix of these two,
the phase martensite created when some steels are rapidly quenched from a high
temperature, or a structure hardened by precipitated micro-constituents.
The broader group of stainless steels can be viewed by comparison to the more familiar
plain carbon ‘mild’ steels as having the following general characteristics:
• higher ductility;
These properties apply particularly to the austenitic grades and to varying degrees to
other grades.
• excellent ductility;
• good ductility;
• fully magnetic;
Martensitic stainless steels are also based on the addition of chromium as the major
alloying element but with a higher carbon and generally lower chromium content than
the ferritic type, e.g. 12% in grades 410 and 416. Grade 431 has a chromium content
of about 16% but its microstructure is still martensite despite the chromium level due
to the addition of 2% nickel in the composition. The martensitic grades are used in the
hardened condition for high strength applications (eg pump shafts) and high hardness
applications (eg knife blades). 5
S1
The characteristics of martensitic stainless steels are:
• magnetic; and
These are chromium and nickel containing steels, which can develop very high tensile
strengths. The most common grade in this group is ‘17-4PH’, also known as grade 630, with
the composition of 17% chromium, 4% nickel, 4% copper and 0.3% niobium. The major
advantage of these steels is that they can be supplied in the solution-treated condition, which
is machinable. Following machining, forming, etc. the steel can be hardened by a single, fairly
low temperature ‘aging’ heat treatment which does not cause distortion to the component.
The most common applications are shafts and spindles.
• magnetic; and
Duplex stainless steels such as 2205 (designation indicates 22% chromium and 5%
nickel but also contains 3% molybdenum and 0.15% nitrogen) have microstructures
comprising a mixture of austenite and ferrite.
• Resistant to stress corrosion cracking, albeit not quite as resistant as ferritic grades.
• Strength is greater than that of the annealed austenitic steels by a factor of two.
• They do suffer from reduced toughness below -50ºC and after exposure above
300ºC, so are only used between these temperatures.
Standard classifications
There are many different grades of stainless steel and the American Iron and Steel
Institute (AISI) in the past designated some as standard compositions, resulting in the
commonly used three-digit numbering system, e.g. 304, 316, etc. This role has now
been taken over by the SAE and ASTM who allocate UNS numbers to new grades.
The full range of these standard stainless steel grades is contained in the Iron and Steel
6
S1
Society (ISS) Steel Products Manual for Stainless Steels and in the SAE/ASTM handbook
of Unified Numbering Systems.
Although the majority of stainless steel products sold in Australia and New Zealand
are supplied to American ASTM specifications, we see some references to European
“Euronorms”. These use different grade designations, both numbers and names.
Certain other grades do not have standard numbers but instead are covered by other
national and international specifications for specialised products.

SECTION 2: FLAT PRODUCT: STAINLESS STEEL SHEET, COIL, STRIP AND PLATE
ASTM 480M. General requirements for flat rolled stainless and heat-resisting steel plate,
sheet and strip.
Production
Stainless steel coil and plate consumed by the Australian and New Zealand market is
supplied from mills throughout the world in hot rolled and cold rolled conditions.
Therefore, sheet is thickness less than 5.0mm and plate is 5.0mm and over.
It is common practice for large stainless steel coils to be brought into Australia and
processed by a specialty metals service centre into smaller coils, sheet, strip and plate.
Product over 12mm is brought into Australia as plate only.
The range of stock of stainless steel flat products produced from large coil is limited to
mill production constraints in thickness, width and grade and the processing equipment
at the coil service centre.

Surface finishes
The following stainless steel finishes are commonly used in the Australian and
New Zealand market.
Finish Description
2B The general-purpose, cold rolled, smooth finish obtained as a result of a final light pass through
polished rolls at the mill.
BA Bright annealed finish is a bright, cold rolled, highly reflective finish retained by final annealing
in a controlled atmosphere furnace. The finish has large application in the appliance and
automotive industry and as a decorative finish in architecture.
The brightness and reflectivity is a function of thickness and grade. Consultation is recommended
prior to specification in architectural applications. BA finish is usually supplied with a PE or PVC
coating as a surface protection.
No.4 Produced from 2B finish often by a service centre rather than the production mill.
It is a general-purpose ground polished finish used widely for kitchen equipment and applications
requiring a decorative linished finish. No.4 finish is usually supplied with a PE or PVC coating as a
surface protection.
No.8 Highly reflective ‘mirror’ finish. Produced from 2B finish by polishing with successive finer
abrasives followed by extensive buffing. Mainly used in architectural applications.
Customer-specific A service centre with polishing equipment can produce special finishes for specific applications.
SECTION 2: FLAT PRODUCT: THE ATLAS METALS BULK COIL STOCKING PROGRAM
SECTION 2: FLAT PRODUCT: THE ATLAS METALS BULK COIL STOCKING PROGRAM
The most efficient route for a stainless steel production mill to produce plate
(5mm and over) is in coil form. The coil is then further downstream processed
by the mill or through a service centre with equipment to flatten
(often called ‘levelling’) and cut to length.
The maximum plate width produced by mills from coil is 2000mm and the maximum
thickness is 13mm for hot rolled and 8mm for cold rolled.
Atlas, through the AMP coil service centre, has the capability to process large stainless
steel coils in thickness up to 6mm (8mm for aluminium) and in widths to 2000mm.
This enables an extensive range of cold and hot rolled coils to be held with the flexibility
to convert into small coils, sheet, strip and plate in standard and customised lengths.
Another method of producing stainless steel plate within and beyond the thickness
range of coil production is from a slab of steel that is rolled in the flat condition to a
specified length, width and thickness. The product of this process is commonly referred
to as quarto plate and is available from mills in thickness from 5mm and above and
widths to 4000mm in some thicknesses.
The standard grades and thickness for quarto plate are as follows:
Finish No.1
Quarto plate is commonly stocked as a dual certified grade, i.e. 304/304L and 316/316L.

Ferritic compared to Duplex stainless steel
Duplex grades have compositions balanced to give a structure of about
50% ferrite and 50% austenite and therefore have some properties that
are mid-way between the two types. Their thermal expansion for instance
is between that of the ferritic and austenitic grades, and their resistance to
stress corrosion cracking is higher than that of an austenitic but not quite
as good as for the ferritic. The duplex grades do however tend to have
higher strengths than either of the other types. As for all stainless steel
grades the pitting resistance is very largely determined by the content of

Pipe and Fittings
Stainless steel pipe can be generally defined as a heavy wall thickness tubing,
with dimensions as specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Pipe dimensions are specified by outside diameter – indicated by the NPS (imperial) or
DN (metric) designator and sometimes referred to as the ‘nominal bore’– and wall
thickness, reflected in the schedule number. ASME B36.19 covers these dimensions.
Stainless steel pipe and fittings are supplied in the annealed condition to facilitate
fabrication and ensure best corrosion resistance. Atlas Specialty Metals can also supply
stainless steel pipe with an abrasive polished finish suitable for architectural applications.
Welded pipe
Welded stainless steel pipe is manufactured from 2B or HRAP stainless steel strip –
formed (to shape) and longitudinally welded to completed pipe.
All welds are made without the addition of filler metal, except for very large diameters.
Seamless pipe
Seamless stainless steel pipe is produced from hollow billets, which are pierced then
drawn across dies until they reach the final desired pipe size.
Standard seamless pipe is supplied in nominal lengths of 6.1 metres to 150mm (6”) and 1
above this in random lengths. S4
Stainless steel piping systems can be joined by butt welding and, in the heavier
40S and 80S schedules, by threaded connections.
The complete piping systems is made possible using complementary fittings and flanges.
These are specified by the same DN or NPS designator and schedule numbering system
as for pipe.
A piping system using butt welding fittings has many inherent advantages over
other forms.
• Smooth inner surface and gradual direction changes reduce pressure losses
and turbulence and minimise the action of corrosion and erosion.
Atlas Specialty Metals supply butt welding fittings in the following forms.
• Caps.

S4
Piping systems can be connected using screwed fittings – BSP threaded (“150lb”)
low pressure fittings and NPT threaded (class 3000) high pressure fittings in Grade 304 or 316.
Socket weld fittings are used in high pressure piping systems and are available in grade
316L to suit schedule 80S wall thickness piping.
Manufacturing specification: ASTM A182M (Class 3000 NPT and socket weld).
ASTM A351 (BSP castings).
ANSI B16.3 (BSP dimensions).
ISO 4144 (BSP dimensions)
Pipe flanges
A flange is a ring of steel (forged, cut from plate, or rolled) designed to connect sections
of pipe, or to join pipe to a pressure vessel, valve, pump or other integral flanged assembly.
Flanges are joined to each other by bolting, and are joined to the piping system by
welding or threading (or loose when stub ends are used).
Forged stainless steel flanges are designed to the following common pressure ratings:
Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500 and 2500. Standard sealing face is Raised Face (RF).
Plate stainless steel flanges are cut and machined from plate – Table ‘D’, Table ‘E’, etc.
Slip-on flanges. The flange is slipped over the pipe and then welded both inside and
outside to provide sufficient strength and prevent leakage. Slip-on flanges are also used 3

as loose back-up flanges when stub ends are used.
Blind flanges. This is a flange without a centre bore, used to shut off a piping system
or vessel opening.
Lap joint flanges. This is again similar to a slip-on flange, but has a radius at the
intersection of the centre bore and the flange face to accommodate a lap stub end.

5 Stainless Steel
Tube and Fittings
Stainless steel tube can be joined by welding, which facilitates rigidity in construction,
or by the use of mechanical fittings which enables dismantling for hygienic cleaning.
Tube is usually annealed if extensive forming and bending is required, such as for
bending or expanding. The tubular products system incorporates a comprehensive range
of stainless steel fittings in the form of elbows, tees, reducers and flanges in various
sizes, wall thickness, grades and finishes to suit tube dimensions and tolerances.
AW tube has a higher yield point than annealed tube and is generally used for
decorative applications or in mildly corrosive conditions. It is not suitable for applications
requiring significant flaring, expanding or bending.
Annealing both increases the corrosion resistance and softens the tube which allows
1
severe manipulation such as bending, expanding and forming.
S5
Manufacturing specification: ASTM A269/ASTM A268 for Ferritic and Martensitic tubes.
This tube is typically destined for heat exchanger applications and is produced in
a similar way to AWA product except that the internal bead is rolled flush with
the inside tube surface prior to annealing.
Cold drawn welded (CDW) and cold drawn welded annealed (CDWA) tube
Through cold drawing tube in the AW and AWA conditions, fine dimensional tolerances
are achieved, with excellent uniformity of wall thickness and concentricity, grain
structure and hardness.
The tube is produced by drawing through a hardened steel or tungsten carbide die,
at room temperature. The purpose of cold drawing is to reduce the OD or wall or both,
to produce a smooth surface finish and to break up the weld structure, which results
in recrystallisation when annealed.
This tube is produced by drawing from hollow billets. It is usually supplied in the
annealed and pickled condition and used where service conditions involve high pressure
and corrosive conditions and where good surface finish and close tolerances are
required, e.g. heat exchanger and condenser tubing, instrumentation tubing and some
refinery applications.
Manufacturing specification: ASTM A269 for general service. ASTM A213M for heat
exchanger service and A268 for Ferritic and Martensitic tubes.
This tube is produced by the helical forming and automatic welding of a continuous strip
of stainless steel.
Typical applications include water and pulp in paper mills, product and effluent lines in
chemical processing, water lines for brewing, dust fume extraction, furnace and boiler
flues, stormwater down-pipes in high-rise applications and ventilation ducts and
condensation lines for airconditioning.

Tube fittings
Complementing our stock of round tube is a range of tube fittings. The more common
tube fittings include bends (45, 90 and 180 degree), tees, reducing tees, eccentric and
concentric reducers, BSM unions and tube clamps.
Tube bends – Bends are generally stocked as 45, 90 or 180 degree. Three common
manufacturing processes are pulled bends (cold drawn bend), pressed bends and lobster
back bends. The process of manufacturing often relates to the diameter of the bend and
the thickness of material used. Up to and including 152.4mm the bends are generally
pulled, by far the most commonly supplied bends. Pressed bends can be from 101.6 to
305mm OD. Lobster back bends are generally supplied in diameters 101.6mm and
above and these bends are used generally to suit spiral welded tube.
To maintain a level of quality and consistency Atlas stocks pulled bends with an
extended leg. The importance of this style of bend ensures each end of the bend is
finished off true and accurate. The extended leg gives the ability to maintain the original
circularity of the tube and a precise 45 or 90 degree radius measured from across the
end face of the bends.
Tees – Two common processes of manufacturing are welded or pulled tees. To maintain
product quality and consistency welded tees are stocked as opposed to pulled tees.
Tees are stocked in two forms; equal or reducing. An equal tee has all three branches of
the tee equal in diameter. A reducing tee has a reduced diameter of tube on the branch
section of the tee.
As tube fittings are often used in the food industry and hygiene is important many of
these fittings are stocked in a polished finish.

BSM unions
British Standard Milk (BSM) stainless steel unions were designed specifically for tube
installation in the dairy industry, but they are now commonly used in food and beverage
processing and the pharmaceutical industries where crevice-free hygienic conditions are
required. A commonly used term is ‘CIP’ which comes from the phrase Clean In Place.
Liner RJT (Ring Joint Type) – often referred to as a standard union comprises an
Nut ‘O’ ring style gasket. This leaves a small crevice internally where the liner
and male part of the union overlap, this is not suitable for permanent CIP.
Male Part
Gasket
Liner CIP (Australian style) – developed from a RJT union, features a gasket
Nut giving the desirable characteristics for CIP installation. The gasket fills the
crevice between the liner and male part of the union.
Male Part
Gasket
Liner CIPFF – the FF stands for ‘Flat Face’ and refers to a BSM modified
Nut supporting CIP installations. The gasket is moulded completely filling the
crevice between the liner and male part and allows a small lip to give a
flush finish on the ID of the fitting. The liner and male parts of this union
have been modified creating a flat face style sealed with a flat face gasket.
Male Part A flat faced liner and male part used in a CIPFF union are shaped differently

construction. Also referred to in ASME boiler and pressure vessel code.
ASTM A582M: This specification covers hot or cold finished free-machining stainless steel bar except bars for
forging (see spec. A314). Includes rounds, squares and hexagons in the more commonly used
types of stainless steels designed for optimum machinability and general corrosion and high
temperature service, primarily grades 303 and 416. Stainless steel bars other than the
free-machining types are covered in other specifications.
ASTM A314: This specification covers stainless steel billets and bars intended only for forging.
ASTM A484M: This specification covers general requirements that apply to stainless steel wrought bars, shapes,
forgings and billets or other semi-finished material (except wire) for forging, under the latest
revision of each ASTM specification.

Engineering Bar
Bright steel bars are carbon steel which has had the surface condition
improved over the hot rolled finish supplied by the steel mill. Advantages
achieved include improved machinability, enhancement of physical and
mechanical properties and improved dimensional tolerances and straightness.
Cold finished steels are covered by Australian Standard AS1443 or similar overseas
alternatives.
Cold drawn bars are widely used in mass production of parts due to their excellent
mechanical and dimensional properties, with machinability in excess of the hot rolled
condition. Round, hexagonal and square bars can be produced by cold drawing.
Turned and polished round bars have similar mechanical properties to those of
equivalent hot rolled bar, but exhibit a smooth, bright surface finish and improved
dimensional accuracy. They are widely used where a surface free of decarburisation is
required, for example in induction hardening and when the surface must be free from
surface defects, such as for use in cold forming.
Cold drawn and precision ground or turned and precision ground round bars, 1
where very close dimensional tolerances and finishes are required, e.g. plating. S8
Cold rolled sizes up to 100mm wide and 7mm thick inclusive are produced by cold
rolling to produce flat and some special shape sections to suitable tolerances and
surface finishes.

Grade 1045 is a fully killed medium carbon steel supplied in the as-rolled condition or
normalised (subject to the diameter). The tensile strength is not guaranteed, but is
typically in the range of 550 – 700 MPa.
Applications
The steel machines readily and is ideal for applications including,
• Axles
• Bolts
• Hydraulic rams
• Pins
• Rolls
11
• Shafts S8
• Sprockets
• Machined parts requiring better strengths than mild steel
Dimensional Tolerances
The following tolerances apply to bar supplied to AS 1442.
Similar but not identical tolerances apply for other related specifications.
Plain carbon steels that can be used for case hardening are restricted. Where plain
carbon steels are used, the rapid quenching necessary to develop satisfactory hardness
within the case can cause distortion and the strength that can be developed in the core
is very limited. Alloy case hardening steels allow the flexibility of slower quenching
methods to minimise distortion and high core strengths can be developed.
Nitriding steels 13
S8
Nitriding steels can have higher surface hardness developed by absorption of nitrogen,
when exposed to a nitriding atmosphere at temperatures in the range of 510-530ºC,
after hardening and tempering.
High tensile steels suitable for nitriding are: 4130, 4140, X4150, 4340, En25, En26.

Chrome bar
Hard chrome bar is a chromium-plated steel product used primarily as piston
rod material in all standard applications in hydraulics and pneumatics. Common
applications are found in cranes, dump trucks, lifters, garbage compactors,
agricultural machinery and production equipment with movable sections.
Because hard chrome bar is normally used in conditions of high stress, friction and
harsh climatic environment, the quality of the base metal and surface treatment are
of paramount importance. Wear, impact and corrosion resistance, as well as high yield
strength, surface smoothness and uniform quality are most important properties of hard
chrome bar.
The product under the brand Marcrome is manufactured by Onesteel Martin Bright.
Marcrome specification
The basic grades of steel used in the manufacture of Marcrome are 1045, 4140
hardened and tempered and 1045 induction hardened.
Grade 1045 steel bar is primarily used in hard chrome bar manufacture due to its
wide range of properties consistent with end use applications. Grade 4140 is used in
applications where greater yield strength is required and induction hardened grade 1045
is used in applications requiring greater surface impact resistance.

Selection of the most suitable raw material for production of circular hollow components,
whether the component is a plain bush or a complex precision part, should take into
consideration the advantages in using hollow bar as feedstock. It is important to remember
when comparing hollow bar and solid bar that the raw material cost is dependent on the
length of material used to produce the component. Since the purchase price of raw
material is based on weight, the price per length is an important factor.
Hollow bar is preferred by many users because of significant savings on raw material
cost and machining time. In many instances it is possible to choose a hollow bar
with outside diameter and wall thickness very close to the finished dimensions of the
component to be manufactured. The need for preliminary operations such as turning
and boring is therefore substantially reduced or eliminated. Benefits are gained from
reduction in setting-up time and machine cycle times, lower labour and overhead
costs for each component, reduced tool costs, lower lubricant usage and machinery
maintenance costs. Swarf handling problems are also simplified.
The typical grades of carbon steel hollow bar stocked by Atlas Steels are:
Seamless carbon steel hollow bar is normally supplied in the as-rolled condition and is
suitable for a wide range of thermal treatments such as normalising, surface hardening
and hardening and tempering.
Atlas Specialty Metals can supply both 4140 and 4340 grades of alloy steel hollow bar,
compliant with ASTM A519M or equivalent specification and supplied in various
conditions, usually hardened and tempered, but also annealed or as-rolled conditions
subject to the specific application.
No drilling is necessary and a shorter time cycle for the Time is required for drilling from solid bar and the boring
manufacture of each component is made possible. operation may still be required.
Boring from hollow bar creates less swarf resulting in low Drilling from solid bar creates an excessive amount of swarf
material wastage and less-frequent machine cleaning. resulting in high wastage and frequent machine cleaning.
Coolant may not be needed. Coolant most likely required.

Reinforcement
• Using stainless steel to repair a carbon steel reinforced concrete structure will retard the
“corrosion motor” and extend the asset life. Stainless steel reinforcing can be used in the
critical corrosion zones of carbon steel reinforced structures and extend the asset life
without fear of galvanic corrosion if designed correctly. Joining between stainless and
carbon steel can be achieved with couplers or lapping.
• Stainless steel is a cost effective option in a structure that has difficult future access for
repair or maintenance.
• Austenitic stainless steels have low magnetic permeability and are suited to
applications where disturbing strong magnetic fields need to be avoided such as
housings for electronic equipment, transformer bases, medical buildings and airports.
• Austenitic stainless steel retains ductility to temperatures below -196ºC making it suitable
for reinforcement of containment systems for LNG and Liquid Oxygen.
• Stainless steel has low thermal conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures
giving it superior fire and heat resistance qualities compared to standard mild steel.
• Stainless steels are easy to handle, manipulate and weld and can withstand damage
and abrasion during installation when compared with galvanised and coated steels.
• The use of stainless steel reinforcement requires minimal, if any, maintenance. The cost
of repeat inspections; traffic interruption for engineering work etc, is virtually eliminated.
• Stainless steel’s mechanical strength and corrosion resistance may allow a reduction in the
thickness of concrete, which can considerably lighten the weight of a structure and
provide construction cost savings.
• The higher mechanical properties of some grades of stainless over carbon steel may
enable the use of reduced metal sections.
• Stainless is forgiving in installation; it can be flush with the concrete surface without
subsequent corrosion risk.

Grade 80
High strength, low alloy structural steel with controlled carbon equivalent for optimum
weldability. This plate can be successfully welded to itself and a range of other steels,
provided low hydrogen consumables are used and attention is paid to preheat, interpass
temperature, heat input and the degree of joint restraint.
Stress relieving can be achieved at 540ºC-570ºC. Heating above this temperature should be
avoided to minimise adverse effects on mechanical properties. This plate can be successfully
cold formed, provided allowances are made for the increased strength of the steel.
Applications. Utilising the high strength properties of this grade allows reduction in
section thickness, without loss of structural integrity. Common applications:
• Transport equipment • Lifting equipment
• Excavator and loader buckets • Dump truck trays
Grade 400/450
High hardness, abrasion-resistant steel with a controlled carbon equivalent for optimum
weldability. With attention to heat input, preheat and consumable selection, it can be
readily welded to itself and other steels, using conventional low hydrogen processes.
Applications. Through the plate’s hardness and good mechanical properties this grade
is the most popular wear plate in Australia. It has been extensively used in the following areas:
• Dump trucks • Earthmoving buckets
• Chutes • Gear wheels
Grade 500
Medium carbon, high hardness and abrasion-resistant steel. With attention to heat
input, preheat and consumable selection, it can successfully be welded to itself and a
range of other steels.
The high hardness causes difficult cold forming, requiring higher bending and cold
forming forces along with greater allowances for springback.
Applications. The hardest quenched and tempered steel produced offers exceptional
long life in sliding abrasion applications such as:
• Chutes • Cutting edges
• Wear liners • Earthmoving buckets

Product Support
Services
Technical Services
Atlas Specialty Metals has for many years taken a leadership role in the stainless
and special steels market by providing technical service support to users through
our qualified and experienced staff at our distribution and processing operations.
The Atlas Specialty Metals Technical Department exists to support our customers and
sales personnel to:
• train staff and those of customers in the use of stainless and special steels.
The Department establishes and maintains the quality standards for product supply from
mills and conducts a testing program to ensure that product sold by Atlas Specialty
Metals meets those standards.
Customers are invited to take advantage of the technical service provided by Atlas
Specialty Metals; all enquiries can be directed to:

Atlas Specialty Metals has a formal quality management system, which is certified to
ISO9001. The quality system at Atlas provides the following benefits to our customers:
The Atlas quality assurance system is based on our ongoing commitment to meet our
customers’ expectations of quality and service. Our commitment to quality management
means we are constantly reassessing our performance and aim to continually improve
our systems and procedures with the aim of maintaining our leadership in the stainless
and special metals distribution industry in Australia and New Zealand.
An important aspect of the Atlas quality system is the ability to trace product from
the original source to end user. This process provides two significant services to the
customer:
The mill inspection certificate is the evidence that the product supplied is in conformance
with the appropriate standard specification.
Product specifications
Most special metal products distributed by Atlas Specialty Metals are ordered to ASTM
(American Society for Testing and Materials) specifications. Some Australian (AS),
Euronorm (EN), British (BS), Japanese (JIS), German (DIN) and International (ISO)
standards are nominated where appropriate. ANSI/ASME specs are also commonly used
for fluid products. A list of the most common product specifications is contained in the
appendices of this publication.
ASTM standards are frequently issued in dual inch-pound and metric units and are
typically designated as follows: Stainless steel plate, sheet and coil to ASTM
A240/A240M. It is the policy of Atlas to purchase the metric version where one exists, in
this case ASTM A240M.
Product traceability 3
S12
Traceability of product achieves two things:
• identification data supplied by the mill, with the product. This is typically a heat
number, batch number or bundle number; and
• the Atlas purchase order number is used as an identifier where the supplier does not
use their own batch identification.
Atlas controls the traceability of product up until the time it is delivered to a customer.
From that point it is the customer’s responsibility to maintain traceability.
Colour coding is a method employed as a secondary aid to steel grade identification and
is complementary to marked, tagged or label identification. Products not normally colour
coded are stainless steel tube, sheet and coil, fittings, flanges, wire, wire rope and
welding consumables.
Minor deviations from the standard colour are accounted for by a white stripe or band,
which indicates that the product varies in some way from the standard grade, or is
special in some way.
In addition some specific grades or product are colour coded as ‘no colour’... Atlas/ CR12
plate and U1004 carbon steel bright bar are not coded even though all other stainless
steel plate and bright bar products are. These products are identifiable as the only
uncoded products.
When colour coded product is cut the offcut is also colour coded.
Inspection certificates
Type 3.1 test certificates must contain results of tests actually carried out on the batch of
material being certified (type 2 test certificates can contain typical rather than actual
values). Personnel independent of production must have carried out the tests and the
document must contain a statement that the product complies with the order or with
the relevant product specification.
4 Atlas standard purchasing requirement from mills is for test certification of product to
S12
EN10204, 3.1.
Supplier selection
Atlas aims to have a select group of preferred suppliers that have a proven track record
for commercial, delivery and quality performance.
The list of suppliers comprises a worldwide network of both mill and stockist specialty
metals suppliers. Mills usually provide lower prices, but large overseas stockists can often
deliver quicker.
Before a supplier is included on the Atlas approved vendors listing they must satisfy the
criteria of quality assurance and product approval processes conducted by the Technical
Services Department of Atlas. As a minimum criteria to selection new suppliers are
required to submit test samples, which are evaluated for conformance with recognised
standard specifications.
Existing suppliers are subjected to random product audits (from product in the
warehouses and from evaluation of customer complaints). Procedures also exist within
Atlas to monitor price competitiveness, delivery and service quality of all suppliers.
We offer a total materials service throughout the lifecycle of a project. From inception to
clearance, our service involves:
• Supply;
• Logistics;
• Warehousing; and
• Management of all materials; as well as
• Support of ongoing maintenance requirements.
