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 AR is a medium-carbon, low-alloy steel used in the as-rolled condition for resistance to abrasion. It is a relatively low-cost steel and is employed in applications involving smooth-sliding abrasion, where abrasive materials such as grains, coal, ore, cement, gravel, light aggregate and earth are being handled.
