Details
- 12L14 carbon steel is a resulfurized and rephosphorized low carbon steel with lead added.
- Known as one of the fastest machining grades available.
- Possesses very low friction, resulting in:
- Smooth machined surfaces
- Increased tool life
- The lead content allows the material to break into smaller chips during machining, reducing:
- Entanglement
- Friction
- Enabling higher machining speeds
- Ideal for automatic screw machine parts.
- Not considered weldable due to high sulfur content.
- Can respond to conventional heat treating but is not suitable for case hardening.
- For case hardening, 1018 steel is recommended.
- Common applications include:
- Screw machine products
- Bushings
- Couplings
- Inserts
- Parts involving bending and crimping.
