4.7 (7 Reviews) 52 orders

Material type: Metal, High precision

Alloy steel 1215 contains carbon as the significant alloying element. Small quantities of molybdenum, chromium, nickel, aluminium, and copper are present in these steels. They also contain 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. It is often compared to carbon steel 1018 due to the similarity of their applications, but they have many differences. 1215 steel has better machinability and can hold tighter tolerances as well as a brighter finish.
