EN1A / 230M07 Bright Mild Steel
The term mild steel applies to all low carbon steel that does not contain any alloying elements in its makeup and has a carbon content that does not exceed 0.25%. The term mild” is used to cover a wide range of specifications and forms for a variety of steel. Mild steel is used in mechanical engineering applications for parts that will not be subject to high stress. When in its bright cold drawn condition the steel is able to endure higher levels of stress, particularly on smaller diameters.
Compared to normal mild steel, bright mild steel provides tighter sectional tolerances, increased straightness, and a much cleaner surface. The main advantage of cold drawn steel is that steel can be bought closer to the finished machine size, providing reduces machining costs. Another benefit of bright steel bars is a marked increase in physical strength over hot rolled bars of the same section. EN1A (also known as BS 970 230M07) is bright mild steel noted for its low carbon content. This steel is especially good for free cutting, where a large volume of products are required.
It can be formed by rolling or drawing and the machining of EN1A is fine of both automatic and CNC machines.
CZ121 Brass
This material is brilliant for milling, turning and drilling purposes. Perfect for the model engineer and machinist.
CZ121 is the standard European grade of free-machining brass consisting of a duplex structure and a 3% lead addition. The particles of lead are finely dispersed throughout the microstructure and acts as both a lubricant and a chip breaker to give the alloy its free machining characteristics. The machinability rating of 100% for CZ121 is the standard against which all other copper alloys are rated. It is the most widely used of all the brasses due to its suitability for high speed machining operations and also the manufacture of intricate parts. Its combination of machinability, thread rolling and knurling characteristics, combined with its good strength, an ease of soldering / brazing and a high resistance to corrosion makes it the ideal choice for many brass components throughout industry.
Traditional uses for CZ121 include a wide variety of machined components made on high speed lathes including screws, bolts, nuts, bushing, pins, washers, butts, hinges and also locks and components for watches. This grade is particularly well suited to machining.
Stainless Steel T303
Alloy 303 is a non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel that is not hardenable by heat treatment. It is the free machining modification of the basic 18% chromium / 8% nickel stainless steel. Alloy 303 was specially designed to exhibit improved machinability while maintaining good mechanical and corrosion resistant properties Due to the presence of sulfur in the steel composition, Alloy 303 is the most readily machineable austenitic stainless steel; however, the sulfur addition does lower Alloy 303’s corrosion resistance to below that of Alloy 304. Like other austenitic grades, Alloy 303 demonstrates excellent toughness, although the sulfur does reduce this a little as well.
Alloy 303 is frequently used in applications that require parts to be heavily machined.
