1144 stressproof
1144 stressproof
(OP)
Has anybody ever had experience using 1144 stressproof as an axle. I would like to economically increase the strength of our C1045 CR axles. 1144 is an alternative. I have heard some concerns abut "11" series steels having poor fatigue properties. These would be fixed axles (spindles) used on an agricultural implement.

I can tell you that it has poor welding properties, so any coupling to a shaft or axle needs to be done by other means. It is however a low cost, high strength material.
