AISI 1116 Free Cut 15 Plate

  • HOT ROLL FINISH

DESCRIPTION

In the as-rolled condition, has physical properties which are equal to or better than regular mild, tank, or boiler plate steel of commercial quality. Based on one inch longitudinal sections, these properties are:

Tensile Strength…….…58-73,000 psi Reduction of Area……….45-60%

Yield Strength…………44-59,000 psi Brinell Hardness…………120-140

Elongation in 2 Inches..26-36%

ADVANTAGES

  • Free-machining qualities can save up to 50% of machining costs as compared to ordinary grades of plate steels.
  • Machines to a clean surface completely free from tears and dragging that requires a minimum of grinding or polishing
  • Machines with less effort on the part of the tool cutting edge, increasing tool life free cutting permits a high polish with little effort
  • Widely used in the manufacture of molds for the rubber industry.
