Armco... the totally involved steel maker

Marine steels. It takes more than furnaces and a rolling mill to pro- duce them.

It takes total involvement... an open dialogue with naval archi- tects and designers, with ship own- ers and operators, with engineers in the yards and men who weld.

You have to be familiar with a unique breed of specs. ABS, HY-80,

MIL-S-16113C Grade HT . . . to name some. We know them well.

All of them. We specialize in ma- rine steels.

Including new high-strength steels for saving weight, adding strength, improving stability, in- creasing performance in today's modern vessels. Steels like the 100,000 psi minimum yield strength

Armco SSS® 100 series (ASTM A 514 and A 517). And Armco High-

Strength B (ASTM A 441), with minimum yield strengths up to 50,000 psi, 70,000 psi tensile strength.

Plus a complete family of heat- treated carbon steels providing ex- ceptional notch toughness. New

Armco VNT Steel. Armco LTM.

Armco QTC® Steel. And Armco

Lo-Temp and Super-Lo-Temp (ASTM A 537).

Total involvement means more than just products, too.

It means we welcome the idea of working with you in search of the best steels for your needs. It means a full array of technical data designed to assist you in using those steels. It means the metal- lurgical knowledge of our skilled team is yours whenever it's needed. It means prompt service from people who care. Armco people. Let's get involved...
