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 1144 is a resulfurized carbon steel containing nominally 1.50% manganese and 0.24-0.33% sulfur to provide a free-machining steel. It is recommended especially for high-production automatic machine products. It has relatively low hardenability. Its ductility and toughness are reasonably good in the longitudinal direction, but they tend to be low in the transverse direction. The many uses of AISI 1144 include mine-car axles and shafts, screws, propeller shafts, ball joints, bushings, bolts and gears.
