    Lead-Free Ultra-Machinable 1215 Carbon Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Lead-Free Ultra-Machinable 1215 Carbon Steel Rods.
    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.
