Louis Metals provides high-strength Stainless Steel 455 Bars and Rods in Houston, USA, perfect for aerospace, defense, and industry applications. Stainless Steel 455 (UNS S45500) is a martensitic, age-hardenable stainless steel which offers a distinctive combination of high tensile strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It can be heat treated to obtain better-than-normal mechanical properties without losing ductility. Produced to AMS 5617 and ASTM A564 specifications, Louis Metals offers 455 bars in precision ground or centerless finishes, offered in custom diameters and lengths. Our products are reliable in high-load-bearing and structural applications where long-term performance is needed.
Stainless Steel 455 has ~11% chromium, 7.5–9.5% nickel, 2–2.75% copper, and minor amounts of titanium and molybdenum. It provides yield strength up to 1380 MPa and tensile strength of approximately 1600 MPa after age-hardening. The alloy is resistant to corrosion in industrial and marine environments and retains toughness and fatigue strength. It is magnetizable and shows little distortion after heat treatment. Louis Metals provides precise heat treatment operations and close tolerances for consistently high-quality bars and rods suitable for aerospace-grade use.
