AISI 12L14 Cold Rolled Round Bar (UNS G12144)
12L14 Cold Rolled Round Bar is a resulfurized and lead-free-machining carbon steel known for its excellent machinability, smooth surface finish, and tight dimensional tolerances. It is widely used for high-speed machining applications where strength is secondary to ease of fabrication.
Key Features
- Outstanding machinability (one of the best among carbon steels)
- Lead addition improves chip breaking and tool life
- Excellent surface finish after machining
- Tight dimensional accuracy due to cold rolling
- Suitable for high-volume production
- Not recommended for welding or heat treatment
