Steel 1215(Free Machining Steel)

Material Type:Metal
Material Name:Steel 1215

Alternative Names:AISI 1045 | UNS G10450 | EN C45 | JIS S45C
Process Compatibility:CNC Milling, CNC Turning, Forging, Heat Treatment
Description
Steel 1045 is a medium-carbon steel with higher strength and hardness than 1018. With around 0.45% carbon, it is widely used in engineering applications where strength and wear resistance are more important than extreme ductility. It can be heat-treated to improve hardness and fatigue resistance.

Introduction to Steel 1215

What
Steel 1215 (AISI 1215) is a resulfurized and rephosphorized steel with outstanding machinability—rated close to 100% on the machinability scale. It allows high-speed CNC turning and milling with minimal tool wear. Its sulfur and phosphorus additions, however, reduce ductility and weldability. It is not intended for heat treatment and is best used in applications requiring precision machining rather than high strength.
Advantages
Exceptional machinability, ideal for CNC production
Produces smooth surface finish and accurate tolerances
Cost-effective for high-volume precision parts
Reduces tool wear and machining costs
 
 
 
Applications
Fittings and connectors
Bushings and pins
Shafts for light-duty applications
High-volume machined components
