GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Chemical Analysis
Carbon .15 max
Manganese .18/1.15
Phosphorus .04/.09
Sulfur .26/.35


USES
Used to maximize advantage for parts where considerable machining is required, such as bushings, inserts, couplings, and hydraulic hose fittings. With good ductility, these grades are suitable for parts involving bending, crimping, or riveting.

Mechanical Properties
The following are average values for 1” round and may be considered as representative:

Tensile Streng 78000
Yield Strength 70000
Elongation 15%
Reduction of Area 50%
Brinell Hardness 163


MACHINABILITY
Average surface cutting speeds and machinability ratings based on 1212 as 100% are as follows: 12L14- 325 feet per minute – 193%

WELDABILITY
Due to high sulfur content, these grades are not considered as weldable.

HARDENING
Although grades will respond to conventional treatments, the are not considered casehardening steels. Better results can be obtained from 1018.
