View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.USS BEN-WELD is an alloy steel that fills the designer's need for large-diameter, ductile reinforcing bars with specified minimum mechanical properties. Compared to many other steels for reinforcing bars, USS BEN-WELD provides simplified, lower cost welding and more compact designs through more acute bending.
