1215 Steel Machining
Steel 1215 Machined Parts
Sunhy has a reputation for machining quality parts from 1215 Steel. We can machine intricate parts on our CNC Swiss machines and CNC turning centers.
Steel alloy 1215 is a popular free-machining alloy (FMA), ideal for parts that require considerable machining and a bright finish. It responds well to slight bending, threading, and nibbing, but is not ideal for parts that may be subject to very severe fatigue stress.
1215 has a machining cost factor of 1.2 when compared to steel 12L14. It possesses better weldability and formability than 12L14. 1215 can be heat treated.

Steel Cost Comparison
Common Material Cost Comparison
| Type | General Characteristics | Alloy | Common Applications | Tolerances for 1/2" Dia. | Material Cost Factor | Machining Cost Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | Designed for excellent machinability. Case hard only | 12L14 | Endless commercial products; probably more pounds used in turned products than any other material | Cold drawn 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Stainless Steel | Designed for machining, non-magnetic | 303 | Electronic hardware, automotive, aerospace, medical instruments, and many applications requiring corrosion resistance | Cold finished +/- .002 | 1.9 | 2.7 |
| Brass | Designed for machining | 2011 | Electronic hardware, endless commercial products | Cold finish +/-.0015 | 3.8 | .6 |
| Aluminum | Designed for machining | 2011 | Electronic hardware, endless commercial products | Cold finish +/-.0015 | 3.8 | .6 |
| Titanium | High strength, light weight, good bio-compatibility | Ti-6Al-4VEli | Medical implants | Ground & polished +/-.002 | 30.2 | 6 |
