Easy-to-Machine 1215 Carbon Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: 60,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B85 (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Fabrication: Cold Worked
- Specifications Met: ASTM A108
A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It’s often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins. For added wear resistance, you can harden its surface with heat treating. These rods meet ASTM A108 standards for manufacturing processes and performance.

Splined Rotary Shafts
Good for hydraulic systems, machine tools, and other high-torque applications, these shafts have teeth that transmit high rotational loads. Compared to keyed shafts, they last longer and handle higher torque. They’re also better than keyed shafts for applications requiring frequent disassembly or adjustments because you can move bushings along their splines.
Parallel splines have large, straight-sided teeth that resemble machine keys and transmit more torque than involute spline teeth. These splines are known as straight splines.
Involute splines have curved teeth, similar to the teeth on a gear. These teeth make more contact with a bushing than the teeth on parallel splines, so these splines are less prone to wear. They handle misalignment and reduce vibration.
Bushings act as a surface to transmit rotary motion or to position a load along the length of the shaft. If welded into place, these bushings can act as a coupler, connecting two splined shafts.
