Thank you for your answer, i'm going to submit the raw material to a tensile test, but it will probably show its lower ductility when compared to a SAE 1215...
This kind of part are applied for hydraulic oil, so we are safe about lead contamination in water.
Hi,
I'm having some trouble with cold forming tubular parts made of SAE 12L14 steel. We machine parts from 12L14 cold drawn bars which are heated to ~500°C during 9s after machining to stress relief, even with the heat treatment, some of the parts breaks during the bending.
I always have used...
