Semih Metals is a top manufacturer and distributor of SAE 1015 round bars and rods from Istanbul, Turkey. Committed to quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction, the company offers solid carbon steel solutions for multiple industrial and engineering purposes. SAE 1015 is a low-carbon steel grade that is highly machinable, weldable, and uniform, and thus perfect for cold-forming operations. Semih Metals manufactures SAE 1015 round bars and rods to professional industry standards, providing automotive, construction, manufacturing, and general engineering clients with reliable, affordable steel products.
SAE 1015 round bars and rods consist mostly of iron containing approximately 0.13–0.18% carbon, 0.30–0.60% manganese, and small amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. This low-carbon steel possesses fair strength and hardness and great ductility and formability. It possesses a standard tensile strength of approximately 440–550 MPa and yield strength of about 250–300 MPa. SAE 1015 is machinable, weldable, and cold-workable, which makes it an ideal candidate for precision forming applications or where surface hardness is enhanced by carburizing without sacrificing core ductility.
