1140 Steel, often referred to as SAE 1140, is a medium-carbon manganese steel that contains about 0.40% carbon and 1.65% manganese. It boasts good machinability and moderate strength. The mechanical properties include a tensile strength of roughly 620 MPa, yield strength of 415 MPa, and an elongation of around 15%. Its Brinell hardness ranges from approximately 170 to 210. This steel can be heat-treated to enhance its mechanical properties and is frequently used in applications where higher strength is needed compared to low-carbon steels, without the expense of alloy steels.

1140 Steel Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that demand strong, machinable materials with moderate hardness and durability. Typical applications include gears, axles, shafts, bolts, pins, and machine components where toughness and wear resistance are crucial. Its excellent machinability makes it perfect for CNC and lathe operations. Moreover, 1140 Steel is well-suited for heat treatment processes like flame or induction hardening, broadening its application in parts that face repetitive stress and impact. The automotive, agricultural, and construction sectors often opt for 1140 due to its cost-effectiveness and balanced performance in challenging environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
