INDUSTRIAL

ABOUT

Whether for heavy-duty material processing equipment, mechanical production systems, or automated manufacturing components, Sullivan Steel’s products provide the essential characteristics for industrial steel. Grades of this nature commonly serve oil and gas or food processing, where friction, heat, repeated loads, abrasion, corrosion, and fatigue are expected and intense.

APPLICATIONS

MACHINERY

Rollers, spindles, bearings, and gears are found in a variety of machine applications in various industrial markets. Subject to continuous rotation, vibration, and heat, they are usually made with steels exhibiting high wear resistance, fatigue strength, and uniform surface finish for extended service life.

FOOD PROCESSING

Equipment such as conveyors, cutting components, and bearings experience extreme corrosion from repeated contact with moisture and cleaning agents. They are also subjected to continuous abrasive impact and temperature change, meaning they require steel with oxidation resistance, high strength, and passivation capabilities.

OIL & GAS

Pumps, valves, drills, and downhole tools must resist immense thermal extremes, particulate abrasion, and corrosion in high-pressure environments. For these parts, key steel characteristics include strength, toughness, resistance to pitting, and dimensional integrity.
