Universal Stainless – Dunkirk Facility is a specialty steel manufacturer located in Dunkirk, NY, producing finished bar, rod and wire products for service centers, forgers, rerollers, wire redrawers, original equipment manufacturers, and other demanding industrial customers.

The Dunkirk operation is part of Universal Stainless, a leading U.S. producer of semi-finished and finished specialty steels serving aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, heavy equipment, medical, semiconductor, automotive, and other critical manufacturing markets.

The Dunkirk facility specializes in converting semi-finished specialty steel long products into finished bar, rod, and wire. Core product forms include round bar under 5 inches, flat bar, hexagon bar, square bar, wire rod, and wire.

Available Dunkirk product sizes include round bar from approximately 0.187 to 4.875 inches, hexagon bar from 0.250 to 1.875 inches, square bar, flat bar from approximately 0.250 to 3 inches thick and 0.625 to 6 inches wide, rod from approximately 0.217 to 0.906 inches, and wire from approximately 0.038 to 0.750 inches.

Manufacturing capabilities at the Dunkirk facility include hot rolling mills, thermal processing, bar finishing, non-destructive testing, laboratory testing, and specialty steel conversion services.

Universal Stainless manufactures a broad range of specialty steel grades, including stainless steels, nickel alloys, tool steels, bearing steels, gear steels, precipitation-hardening stainless steels, high-temperature alloys, and aircraft-quality low-alloy steels.

Available materials and grades across Universal Stainless's bar, rod, and wire portfolio include 300-series and 400-series stainless steels, precipitation-hardening grades such as 13-8, 15-5 and 17-4, high-temperature alloys such as A-286, nickel-based alloys, and premium aerospace and low-alloy grades such as 300M, 4330, 4340, 9310, Alloy 625, Alloy 718, M50 and MP35N, depending on product form and customer requirements.

Wire rod products can be supplied in conditions including hot rolled, hot rolled annealed, and hot rolled annealed and pickled. Thermal processing capabilities allow material properties and product condition to be controlled around customer and end-use requirements.

The Dunkirk facility also provides conversion services for customers that need access to specialized processing equipment or additional manufacturing capacity. This makes Universal Stainless relevant not only as a specialty steel material supplier but also as a potential processing partner for companies requiring outside specialty steel conversion.

Quality and testing are especially important to the Dunkirk operation because many of its products ultimately serve aerospace and other safety- and performance-critical applications. The facility maintains non-destructive testing capabilities and a Nadcap laboratory as part of its production and quality infrastructure.

The Dunkirk facility is AS9100 certified and ISO 9001 certified and maintains ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Nadcap Material Testing accreditation, Nadcap Heat Treating accreditation, Pressure Equipment Directive certification, and ISO 45001:2018 certification.
