Special Qualities
Comparative Specification:
Austenic SG (Ni-resist) iron Unibar NR-S2 offering exceptional resistance to heat, corrosion and wear, and is non-magnetic at any temperature. It has improved tensile strength and ductility over NR-F1. It has good machinability. Noise and vibration damping are also good in this grade.
Standard cut length of our cast iron products is 3080mm, other lengths available on request.
| Round | Square | Rectangle | Special Profiles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25mm – 700mm | 25mm x 25mm – 550mm x 550mm | Up to 780mm x 550mm | Sizes and profiles to customer design available on request |

Unibar NR-S2 contains type I & II nodular (spheroidal) graphite in accordance with ISO 945. The matrix is fully austenitic with up to 10% alloy carbides.
Unibar NR-S2 cannot be hardened.
Both, our foundries and our local distribution centres offer various services to deliver pre-machined products to our customers. Pre-machined Unibar material will save valuable production time, improve the cost effectiveness and eliminate waste in your own production, allowing you to focus on the key design elements of your products.
Cutting to specified length in quantities as little as one piece to large volumes, prepared to meet the requirement of your automatic machining systems.
Turning of round bars to required size to meet specific requirements and to minimise the machining operations of our customers. Unibar turned therefore comes with a standard tolerance of +1mm, although after consultation we can offer alternatives to suit all of our customers‘ requirements.
Single and duplex machines offer milling of square and rectangular bars to specified dimensions and agreed tolerances. We can offer our customers milling on either four or six faces for further processing.
In the case of machined Unibar with diameters of less than 110mm as an alternative to Unibar turned we can offer Unibar peeled by peeling off the oxidised surface layer of the cast bar. As these are smaller dimensions and involve a different machining process, the tolerances offered are more precise, for example h11.
Longitudinal boring as deep as 1000mm is possible by using single head boring and trepanning machines. Unibar tubes can be supplied with the exterior surface as-cast or machined. These two variants can be complemented by a wide selection of internal measurements, which can range from 30mm to 500mm.

For rectangular bars the width is the longer dimension of the cross section. Machining allowances of our continuously cast iron bars can be adjusted to meet customer requirements, subject to discussion, prior agreement and special order. For further information please contact our nearest distribution centre.
Our Ni-resist material Unibar NR-S2 is suitable for various applications within the hydraulic and pneumatic industry, the automotive industry as well as for pumps and compressors.
Due to its specific characteristics and the exceptional structure Unibar NR-S2 is a good alternative for other materials such as steel or sand casting.
