1137 Round Bar: Material Profile
1137 uses controlled sulfur to improve chip breakage and machining productivity compared with plain-carbon grades of similar carbon level.
Cold-drawn condition, diameter tolerance, straightness, and mechanical-property needs should be stated for production machining work.
Purchase to the controlling ASTM, SAE, AMS, or customer specification. Section size, supply condition, mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, and heat/lot traceability can change the acceptable material and processing route.
Key Characteristics
- Good machinability
- Moderate strength
- Good chip control
- Suitable for high-volume turning
Common Applications
- Shafts and studs
- Fittings and couplings
- Threaded components
- Automatic-screw-machine parts
Specification Requirements
Identify the governing specification and revision, product form, section size, condition, mechanical properties, testing, and certification requirements. The purchase specification and material certification govern the order.
