Description
X12CrS13 Round Bar / 1.4005 Round Bar
X12CrS13 Round Bar is a free-machining martensitic stainless steel round bars designed for applications requiring a combination of corrosion resistance, moderate mechanical strength, and good machinability. X12CrS13 is commonly associated with EN 10088-3 and material number 1.4005, making it a suitable stainless steel grade for precision-machined components.
X12CrS13 round bars are manufactured from a martensitic stainless steel containing chromium and sulfur. The sulfur addition improves machinability, making the grade particularly useful for components that require extensive turning, drilling, threading, or other machining operations.
The material offers better corrosion resistance than conventional carbon and alloy steels while providing useful mechanical properties after suitable heat treatment. X12CrS13 round bars are commonly supplied in bright, peeled, ground, or black bar conditions, depending on application and customer requirements.
