Steelmaking technology has increased precision in control of gauge uniformity, flatness, and physical properties. BOF
conversion, vacuum degassing, computerized alloy processes for formulation, analysis, and mill control assure premium quality
alloy. Modern leveling and heat treating operations give unmatched product reliability.

More Performance Per Ton
Tensalloy high-strength abrasion resistant alloy plate, offered by Clifton Steel, provides broad-range characteristics to meet
exacting specifications for heavy-duty maintenance and replacement service. Note in the two photomicrographs at the left made
from the same heat of alloy steel how Clifton's modern heat treatment alters and refines the grain structure. Observe the widely
dispersed carbides which allow the ultimate in abrasion resistance of Tensalloy steel. |

Tensalloy special abrasion resistant steel plate offers outstanding abrasion, fatigue, corrosion, and impact resistance.
The balanced high manganese and chromium alloy content of Tensalloy provides an excellent hardness for improved surface wear,
a guaranteed through hardness, and the necessary supporting toughness. Uniform, fine-grained, wear-resisting Tensalloy is
suitable for the toughest applications where abrasion and wear resistance are vital. Tensalloy will outlast ordinary plate
many times.
Moreover, its composition gives it excellent cutting, welding, and machining characteristics in the shop and for field repairs.
Cutting
Tensalloy is easily cut to size and shape with standard cutting equipment. Clifton offers plasma, high-definition plasma, laser,
and water jet cutting to your specifications.
Welding
Conventional shop equipment may be used to easily weld Tensalloy plate. Welding should be done with low-hydrogen electrodes.
Plate over 3/4" should be pre-heated to 250°F to prevent cracking the in the fusion zone.
Machining
Drilling, Countersinking, and single-point cutting can be done using standard alloy process. Tensalloy can be shaped, milled,
planed, and tapped with conventional machines.
Forming and Bending
Tensalloy is designed for improved formability, with low levels of carbon and sulphur, a treatment for inclusion shape control.
Forming should be done transverse to the grain when possible. Plate up to 3/4" thickness can be cold bent to a minimum inside
bend radius of 3t (where t is the plate thickness) and the bend is across the grain. A 4t radius can be used when bending
parallel to the grain.
Shearing
Due to the physical properties of Tensalloy, flame cutting is recommended wherever possible. If a large number of pieces are
required to shear tolerances, use of annealed material with subsequent heat treatment is recommended.
