Available in four grades - 303, 304/304L, 316/316L and 416 - it is manufactured to the strictest standards in the industry, using a controlled free machining chemistry that specifies very narrow ranges for the critical elements which affect machinability, tool life and surface finish.
In concert with the tight range of physical properties demanded for all TRI-CUT™ material, this chemistry works to:
- Promote optimal feeds and speeds
- Maximize tool life
- Minimize scrap outs
- Assure consistent performance, heat lot to heat lot.
The Tri-Cut™ Story
With TRI-CUT™, you can reliably predict performance, confidently calculate and control costs and better manage your bottom line.
TRI-CUT™ is the innovative result of an extensive collaborative process that actually began in 1997 when Tri Star Metals embarked on a mission to create a free machining stainless bar product that would consistently out perform other bar products on the market. We started with our customers, identifying their needs and concerns and determining what they value most in a bar product. Then, we utilized the vast resources and expertise of our mill partners to locate the highest quality materials, specify the necessary production refinements and successfully develop a product designed to not only meet, but exceed, industry standards and our customers most critical demands. That product is TRI-CUT™. We believe it is the best. Available only from TriStar Metals, LLC.
