BS 970 230M07 / SAE 1214 (EN1A)
Applications:
This very popular grade of low carbon-manganese free cutting steel is widely used for the manufacture of components requiring an excellent surface finish with high production rates. Limited welding and forming capabilities due to high sulphur content. Will electroplate but not suitable for hot dip galvanising. Can be carburised to produce components with enhanced wear resistance. Most suitable for the manufacture of repetition turned components, e.g. bolts, hydraulic fittings and studs, particularly where intricate drilling and machining operations are involved.
