    Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel Hex Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel Hex Bars.
    Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's often fabricated into low-strength fasteners and fixture clamps. For added wear resistance, it can be surface hardened with heat treating.

    Ultra-Machinable 12L14 Carbon Steel Hex Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Ultra-Machinable 12L14 Carbon Steel Hex Bars.
    The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts, such as hex nuts, compression fittings, and hydraulic adapters. For added wear resistance, they can be surface hardened with heat treating.

    Extreme-Strength Highly Machinable 1144 Carbon Steel Hex Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Extreme-Strength Highly Machinable 1144 Carbon Steel Hex Bars.
    With more carbon and manganese than other machinable carbon steel, 1144 carbon steel has higher yield strength and hardness. Also known as Stressproof, these hex bars are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining. Use them to make parts that require high strength, such as high-strength fasteners and fittings.
