Conducting Business with Atlas Steels

Welcome to Atlas Steels, the leading stockist and distributor of stainless steels and special metals
across Australia.

This Reference Manual provides information on the range and grades of stainless and special
metals we distribute. It also contains general technical information that may be of interest to users
and outlines the processing facilities and services provided to our customers.

Atlas Steels the Company

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 the Australian offshoot, which evolved from the
Canadian parent when they established operations in Australia in 1939.

In many respects the Atlas of today with operations across Australia 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 private company with a distribution and warehousing network across Australia’s
major cities and regional centres.

Specifications
ASTM A240M. Chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet and strip for pressure
vessels and for general applications.

ASTM 480M. General requirements for flat rolled stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet and
strip.

The internationally recognized crossover thickness between what is referred to as sheet and plate is
5.0mm. This is specified in ASTM A480M.

Therefore, sheet is thickness less than 5.0mm and plate is 5.0mm and over.

Production
Stainless steel coil and plate consumed by the Australian market is supplied from mills throughout the
world in hot rolled and cold rolled conditions.

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.

Surface Finishes – Coil and Sheet

The following stainless steel finishes are commonly used in the Australian market.

Product Production Process

The general-purpose, cold rolled, smooth finish obtained as a result of a final light
2B pass through polished rolls at the mill. A semi-matt finish with very good corrosion
resistance.
Bright Annealed finish is a bright, cold rolled, 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.
BA
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.
Produced from 2B finish often by a service centre rather than the production mill.
No.4 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 coating as a surface protection.
Highly reflective ‘mirror’ finish. Produced from BA finish by polishing with successive
No.8 finer abrasives followed by extensive buffing. Mainly used in architectural
applications.
Hot Rolled Annealed and Pickled finish is usual for most plate. This dull finish is also
HRAP (No 1)
supplied on some heavier coil and AtlasCR12 coil and sheet.
Customer- A service centre with polishing equipment can produce special finishes for specific
specific applications.

Protective Coating

Paper Interleave is a layer of paper intended to prevent scoring or galling between

PI
sheets or coil wraps during storage and delivery.
Polyethylene coating protects the prime steel surface from handling damage during
PE
storage, transport, fabrication and installation.
This is a PE film optimized to avoid bubbling and separation from the metal surface
LF
during laser cutting.
PVC Polyvinyl Chloride film is a specialised plastic optimized for deep drawing applications.
This is a Fiber Optic Laser Film optimized to avoid bubbling & seperation from the metal
FLV
surface during Fiber Optic Laser Cutting.

Plastic Film Precautions

All plastic films and more particularly the adhesives that hold them to the steel have limited life. It is
recommended that all plastic films be removed within three months. Exposure to sunlight (UV) should be
avoided.

Stainless Steel Coil Plate - ASTM A240M

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.

Coil plate is commonly stocked in dual certified grade, i.e. 304/304L and 316/316L.

Stainless Steel Quarto Plate Products – ASTM A240M

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.

Grades and thickness for quarto plate are as follows:

Grades 304/304L, 316/316L, AtlasCR12, 253MA, 2205, 2507. (Indent 321, 321H etc)
Thickness (mm) 5.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 16.0, 20.0, 25.0, 32.0, 40.0, 50.0

Width (mm) 1500, 2000, 2500

Length (mm) 6000, 7500, 8000
Finish No.1

Non-standard grades, widths and lengths can be obtained to individual customer-specific requirements.

Quarto plate is commonly stocked as “dual certified” in the most common grades, 304/304L and
316/316L.

Stainless Steel Tube and Fittings

Stainless steel tube is typically specified by OD (outside diameter) or A/F (across flat) dimensions,
WT (wall thickness), grade, condition and surface finish.

It is resistant to many forms of corrosion, has hygienic sterile properties, high quality aesthetic
appeal and exceptional strength.

Tube is manufactured in round, square and rectangular sections in a variety of wall thicknesses and
usually by the processes of longitudinal welding, hot and cold drawing (seamless) or spiral welding.

Finishes or appearance range from unpolished to very highly polished. Unpolished has a 2B mill finish,
standard polished is a finely grit polished finish and there is a finer buffed finish giving close to a mirror
appearance. Finishes are selected to suit application and aesthetic appeal.

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.

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.

As-Welded (AW) Tube

Decorative & Structural Tube – This tubing is produced direct off the continuous tube welding mill, using
cold rolled stainless steel strip made to ASTM standards, with tube produced to commercial limits of
straightness in standard or specific customer lengths.

AW tube is generally used for structural and decorative applications in mildly corrosive conditions. It is
not suitable for applications requiring significant flaring, expanding or bending, nor for fluid transfer or
pressure applications.

AW tube is also available with one or two rebate slots for support of architectural glass panels.

SupaBrite Mirror Polished Tube – This As-Welded tube is ideal for decorative structural applications
where a highly reflective appearance is desired, such as prestigious hand rails. The bright finish is not
only aesthetically attractive but also gives high corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.

Manufacturing specification: ASTM A554.

Food Quality Tube – As-welded food quality tube is stocked by Atlas Steels. This tube at the point of
manufacture goes through a process where the internal weld bead is rolled to blend in with the
surrounding tube wall profile. The result is an improved internal finish along the weld, reducing the
chance of a crevice where liquid or food product may be trapped. This assists with ‘clean in place’ (CIP)
of food and beverage process lines and other applications such as the pharmaceutical industry. Further
assurance of reliability of food tube comes from the 100% weld NDT mandatory for this product.

Complimenting the food quality tube is an extensive range of fittings, also intended for hygienic
applications. These are also covered by AS 1528 and include butt welding, screwed and clamp fittings.

Manufacturing specification: AS 1528

 Atlas Steels – Product Reference Manual
Section 4 – Stainless Steel Tube and Fittings

As-Welded Annealed (AWA) Tube

This tube is produced by the same process as AW tube but is then annealed to relieve stresses and
improve ductility. Bright annealing is carried out in a controlled-atmosphere furnace, so that no oxide or
scale is formed on the surface.

Annealing both increases the corrosion resistance and softens the tube which allows severe manipulation
such as bending, expanding and forming.

Manufacturing specification: ASTM A269M

Cold Worked Annealed (CWA) Tube

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.
Because of the critical end use this tube undergoes extensive testing as part of the manufacturing
process.

Manufacturing specification: ASTM A249M

Cold Drawn Seamless (CDS) Tube

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. Seamless tubing is always recommended for
applications using compression fittings sealing on the inside surface.

Manufacturing specification: ASTM A269M for general service. ASTM A213M for heat
exchanger service and A268M for ferritic and martensitic tubes.

Spiral Welded Tube

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 air-conditioning.

Manufacturing specification: generally to ASTM A778M, except mechanical properties are not
generally tested or reported.

Grades:

Austenitic 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321

Ferritic 409

Duplex 2205

Table Flanges are available bored for tube. These flanges are covered in the section of this Atlas
Product Reference Manual on Stainless Steel Pipe.

A note on product weights

This product Reference Manual gives weights and weights per metre for many products. These are
intended to be useful, but please note that standard dimensional tolerances mean these weights will
always be approximate only.

processes are pulled bends (cold drawn bend), pressed bends and lobster back bends. The process of
manufacturing often relates to the diameter of the tube and 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 both aesthetics and hygiene are important many of
these fittings are stocked in an externally 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.

RJT (Ring Joint Type) – often referred to as a standard union

comprises an ‘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.

CIP (Australian style) – developed from an RJT union,

features a shaped gasket 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. This gives the desirable
characteristics for CIP installation.

CIPFF – the FF stands for ‘Flat Face’ and refers to a BSM

modified union supporting CIP installations and also enabling
easy disassembly from process lines – once the nut is
undone the union and attached tube line can be slid
sideways.
Like the Australian style CIP union the gasket completely fills
the crevice between the liner and male part to give a flush
finish on the ID of the fitting. The liner and male parts of this
union have been modified to create a flat face style sealed
with a flat face gasket. A flat faced liner and male part used
in a CIPFF union are shaped differently to that used in an
RJT or CIP union.

Note: Temperature rating of EPDM “E” gasket material is -51o to 148oC.

Improved Machinery Bar

Atlas Steels distributes “Improved Machinability” (IM) Stainless Steel Bar.

Improved machinability bar results from a controlled melting process, giving high chip-breaking properties
and providing a self-lubricating quality through the processing of machining.

Range of IM Grades

• 303, 304/304L and 316/316L round bar, to 101.6mm

• 316/316L round bar, 101.6 to 304.8mm

• 303 and 316/316L hex bar, 13.34 to 57.15mm

• 316L – hollow bar

The benefits

• Improved machinability
• Increased cutting speeds
• Lower unit cost of production
• Increased tool life
• Lower production power requirements
• Consistent machinability
• Improved product surface finish
• Chemical composition within ASTM standards
• Properties the same as commercial grades of stainless steel
o corrosion resistance
o mechanical properties
o weldability
o formability
• improved drilling and tapping characteristics

IM grades will reduce wear on tools and extend tool life

Highly abrasive inclusions which damage tools are excluded in the IM manufacturing steel melt process.

There is a decrease in flank wear and crater wear of carbide tooling which results in:

• less dismounting and reassembling of tools

• less adjustment time; and
• a noticeable improvement in the life of cutting tools

Atlas Steels distributes Ugima “Improved Machinability” grades but also other generic brands are
available.

Section 6 – Stainless Steel Bar - Round, Flat, Angle and Sections

Laser Fused Structural Sections

Specification: ASTM A1069M “Standard Specification for Laser-Fused Stainless Steel Bars, Plates and
Shapes”

Laser Fused Structural Sections

Laser fused structural stainless steel sections are a new product range that has wide application in
architecture, building and construction, machinery, food processing plants, automotive and shipbuilding,
water and sewage treatment plants and petrochemical industries.

“Low Impact” Laser Fused sections are also produced with low heat input welding so that pre-polished
special finish sections can be used for high-visibility prestige architectural applications.

Product Benefits

Laser fused sections are welded on automated lines ensuring sections with precise dimensions, minimal
distortion, very small heat affected zone and fusion zone and all can be manufactured in small batch size.

Manufacturer

Montanstahl AG, located in Switzerland, are the world leader in production of standard and custom laser
fused sections. The technology developed by Montanstahl utilises the advantages of laser welding to
produce sections not feasible by other processes. Further details are given at
http://www.montanstahl.com/

Grades

Common austenitic grades 304/304L, 316/316L are held in Atlas stock.

Other grades available for non-stock products include 316Ti, duplex and super duplex stainless steels. A
range of carbon steel grades is also available from the mill.

Laser Fused Shapes

Commonly available shapes

• Angles
• Channels
• Beams
• Tees

Specials available on request are limited only by the imagination! A vast range of shapes including box
sections can be produced.

The size range possible includes thicknesses from 3mm to 50mm, heights or flange widths up to
2,000mm and lengths up to a maximum of 15m

Finishes

Standard finish is grit blasted mill finish. Other grit finishes and mirror polished are also available on
request.

Understanding an Alloy Code

Alloy Systems
Alloy series Major allying element Heat Treatable or Not
1??? = Pure aluminium (99.0% min. and greatest) Non–heat treatable
2??? = Copper is major addition Heat treatable
3??? = Manganese is major addition Non–heat treatable
4??? = Silicon is major addition Non–heat treatable
5??? = Magnesium is major addition Non–heat treatable
6??? = Magnesium and Silicon are major additions Heat treatable
7??? = Zinc is major addition Heat treatable
8??? = Alloys not covered above -

Non-heat treatable alloys can only be hardened by cold work. The degree of work hardening is designated by the Temper. Heat
treatable alloys (the 2000, 6000 and 7000 series) are able to be solution treated and then age-hardened. These have “T” tempers.

“H” Temper designation systems

Strain hardened alloys
O Soft (annealed)
H?2 ¼ hard
H?4 ½ hard
H?6 ¾ hard
H?8 Hard
Where “?” can be:
1 = As rolled – - strain hardened only e.g. H12
2 = Strain hardened and then partially annealed (200OC – 260OC) e.g. H24
3 = Strain hardened and then stabilised (150OC) e.g. H36
Temper F – “as fabricated” temper with no special control over conditions and no
mechanical property limits.

Three-Digit H Tempers
Plate Temper Codes

Code Description
Minor strain hardening so the product does not comply with annealed properties but also not enough
H111
hardening to comply with H11.
H112 Product strain hardened at elevated temperatures. Strength only slightly higher than annealed Temper O.
5xxx series alloys for marine applications. Final operation is strain hardening. Strength equivalent to H32.
H116
Product is tested for intergranular and exfoliation corrosion resistance.
5xxx series alloys for marine applications. Strain hardened and then thermally stabilised. Strength equivalent
H321
to H32. Product is tested for intergranular and exfoliation corrosion resistance.
H114 Treadplate in Alloys 3003 or 5052 rolled from Temper O.
H224 Treadplate in Alloys 3003 or 5052 rolled from Temper H21.
Note: Plate tempers generally restricted to ½ hard maximum owing to heavy gauge – cannot get sufficient cold work for higher
tempers.
