Applications
- Shafts, bolts, and connecting rods for industrial machinery.
- Rollers, sprockets, and gears.
- Structural components requiring high strength.
- Automotive parts subjected to mechanical stress with good wear resistance.
- Fastening elements such as screws and fasteners.
Characteristics:
- 1144 steel is a medium-carbon steel type that contains manganese and sulfur, also known as stress-resistant steel.
- It offers high strength and hardness and can be flame hardened to further improve surface properties.
- The un-cut steel has been used where resistance to deformation and wear are essential, such as spindles, gears, and piston rods, etc.
- It can be used as an economical replacement for tempered alloy grades.
