Prodec®
Stainless steel bar optimized for improved machinability
Marcegaglia Stainless Sheffield has developed highly improved machinability bars which carry
the name Prodec®.
Prodec® grades have been specifically designed for consistent, superior machinability enabling faster machining speed, longer tool life and enhanced quality. Prodec is melted in the UK, Europe and rolled and finished to bars within US.
Faster machining
Longer tool life
Superior quality – finished tolerance and surface
European origin
Extensive technical knowledge and our
end-to-end production chain enables us to optimize the material’s machinability properties through
all steps of the process. Unlike typical grades optimized for machinability, Prodec® products
have similar corrosion resistance to conventionally produced stainless steel grades.
Prodec® 304L
A version of 304L with improved machinability. Improves productivity with faster machining, longer tool life, better dimensional tolerances, superior machined surface quality, and improved yields compared to conventionally produced 304L.
