View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

AISI 1137 is a resulfurized carbon steel containing nominally 1.50% manganese and 0.08-0.13% sulfur to provide free-machining characteristics. It is recommended especially for high-production automatic machine products. AISI 1137 has relatively low hardenability. In the longitudinal direction its ductility and toughness are fairly good but in the transverse direction they tend to be low. Its many uses include spline shafts, mine-car axles and shafts, gears, bolts, tool holders and tie-rods.
