Exotic Metal Grades to Fit Your Needs
At Sabre Alloys, we’re committed to providing stainless steel to the required specifications of our customers. That’s why we ensure a majority of our materials are DFARS compliant. DoD looking for domestic or DFARS-compliant stainless steel can turn to Sabre Alloys for stainless steel plate to fit their needs, in both exotic and standard grades.

What is DFARS compliance?
DFARS stands for the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. It is a set of regulations that applies to contractors and subcontractors providing goods and services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
A key part of DFARS is the specialty metals clause, which requires that certain metals, including stainless steel, be melted in the United States or a “qualifying country”. This ensures a secure and reliable supply chain of critical materials for U.S. defense applications.
For stainless steel to be DFARS compliant, its origin must be traceable to a U.S. or qualifying country’s melt source. Sabre Alloys provides the necessary documentation to certify the origin and quality of our metals, ensuring they are fully compliant with these regulations.
