High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: 100,000 psi
- Hardness:
Inch sizes: Rockwell C25 (Hard)
Metric sizes: Rockwell C19 (Medium) - Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM A108, ASTM A311
Made with more carbon and manganese than other easy-to-machine carbon steels, 1144 carbon steel has a higher yield strength and hardness. Also known as Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining. Use them to fabricate parts that require stress resistance, such as gears, shafts, and bushings. For added wear resistance, these rods can be surface hardened with heat treating. All meet ASTM A108 and ASTM A311 standards for quality and performance.

Tight-Tolerance High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: 100,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C22 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Specifications Met: ASTM A108, ASTM A311
These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe. Often called Stressproof, they are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining. Containing more carbon and manganese than other easy-to-machine carbon steels, 1144 offers higher yield strength and hardness, even without further heat treatment. Use it to fabricate parts that require stress resistance.
