SAE Equivalent Steel for XC38

At Metalmite we quote many various kinds of steel and aluminum to our customers. Many times we get requests that we are not familiar with and we need to do some research.

Earlier this year we had a request to make something out of XC38 steel. As we dug in to Google we quickly found out that this is a French callout for a 1035 grade steel. A relatively low carbon alloy strip steel.

We were able to offer the 1045 steel that is more prevalent in the USA as a substitute. You only need to be careful with welding is involved. For more information on the SAE equivalents look here: http://www.steelstrip.co.uk/international_equivalents2.htm

Then we machine these parts complete in one operation by using our high-end Mori Seiki Five Axis machines. And, they were done in record time and for record low prices. We would love the opportunity to look at your projects and show you the Metalmite difference with your products.

Metalmite uses 5 axis machining to get the hard-to-reach areas of many parts as well. Our DMG Mori Seiki Mills are the most powerful on the market they claim. But w still have to manually debur parts that come off those mills. That is why our crew and our environment are so important. You buy good equipment, but you can never replace skilled labor!
