Mechanical Trowel Steel is used to fabricate trowel blades for motorized concrete surface finishing machines. The material is stamped into blades which include the blanking of mounting holes. The blade is also formed, -i.e.-, bent at an angle along the length of both edges. The blades end up mounted in a finishing machine which is used to smooth out the surface of concrete floors after pouring.

High hardness and uniform structure are critical for good wear resistance and even wear when working with the rough concrete surface. In addition to the uniformity, a fine grained structure is necessary for the blanking of these rather heavy cross sections. Smooth edges are important for an even floor finish.
