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.LESCALLOY U1-18 is a medium-carbon, low-alloy heat-resistant steel having high strength to 1000 F (538 C). It is made by vacuum-consumable-electrode melting to provide a preferred ingot solidification and superior microcleanliness. It is used for turbine and compressor rotor shafts.
