IMI Alloys India LLP are the manufacturers that consider client respect and satisfaction as their top priority. The products that we manufacture are highly appreciated and applauded by everyone in the industry. A2 tool & Alloy Square Bars is made with the process of air-hardening method. They render stability during heat treatments. They are immune to resistance that ranges from 0-1 and D-2 Steel. A2 tools can be used for making industrial hammers, slitters, knives, tool holders and other strong woodcutting tools. They offer convenience in grinding and polishing of sharpening products. Also useful for knife makers. The generous amount of chromium makes them abrasion proof. But preventive care must be taken. Alloy steel square bars have durability that lasts longer.
A2 Tool & Alloy Steel Square Bars are mainly required in the market. They are alloys that are highly durable and robust. A wide range of harsh conditions like acids, alkaline, extreme temperatures keep them unaffected A2 Tool & Alloy Steel Square Bars work well in pure water as well as non-oxidizing mineral acids.

IMI Alloys India LLP provides these bars to the specific chemical industry where they are de-aerated and used. This way, they perform better as they are resistant to hydrofluoric acids. A2 Tool & Alloy Steel Square Bars are also immune to hydrochloric acids. They have a supreme level of yield strength and elongation capacity. They exhibit traces of magnetism when kept at room temperature.
