Description
1141 bars are low-carbon, high-manganese steel known for their good machinability, weldability, and heat-treatability. They typically contain 0.38-0.43% carbon and 0.08-0.13% sulfur, making them suitable for parts requiring considerable machining and close tolerances. 1144 bars are similar to 1141 but have a higher carbon content (0.40-0.48%), enhancing their strength and hardness. They are known for their excellent machinability and are commonly used for shafts, pins, and axles that need to withstand high loads or frequent movement.
