12L14 Steel
12L14 Steel
The “L” represents the addition of lead (Pb) at the quantity of
0.15 – 0.35. Low carbon steel that is easily machined because of the addition of that lead. Frequently used in screw applications and fittings. Can be difficult to source because of the lead content. Let us help you!
