Thanks again everyone for your valuable insight. I will ask that we perform a thorough test before shipping product with the new steel to our customer. However, taking all the comments into consideration, I seriously doubt we will make the switch. The potential cost savings will not outweigh...
Yes, the proposed steel is Ca-modified. Even though our standard is .015 - .040%, it usually comes in at the lower end (<.02%) so we will be getting material that has 3 times the sulfur content. We will be producing shafts that have an area that will be induction hardened for a needle...
Hello,
Can someone tell me what effect a higher Sulfur content would do to the fatigue properties of AISI 4150. Our current standard is .015 - .040 % and the proposed material is .064%
Thanks!
