Hex Bar

Fully-killed medium carbon steel.  Suitable for medium stressed parts in machinery and industrial tools.  Components of small cross section requiring strength and wear properties better than low carbon unalloyed steel.  Heavy forgings in the normalized condition for automotive and general engineering, such as axles, clutch members, shafts, pressed and punched parts, piston rods and gear racks.

1214 is cold finished (drawn or turned and polished) free machining low tensile 370 – 750 MPa mild steel. Generally used in the as supplied condition.

Chromium, Molybdenum steel for applications requiring high tensile strength and toughness values, in particular in medium and large cross sections in the quenched and tempered condition. The Molybdenum additions prevent the steel from being susceptible to temper brittleness. Surface hardenable.

Alloy 385 is used in mass production of brass components in high speed automatic lathes where machining output and long tool life is required and where no further cold forming operations after machining are required.  The superior machining characteristics of Alloy 385 are due to the rapid chill effect of continuous casting which gives a fine uniform lead distribution without segregation and suppresses formation of brittle phases which cause tool wear,
