Semih Metals is a trusted producer and supplier of SAE 1541 round bars and rods based in Istanbul, Turkey. The firm has the reputation of producing high-performance medium-carbon steel products in line with stringent industry requirements. SAE 1541 is a high manganese steel grade with medium carbon that possesses wonderful strength, toughness, and wear resistance and can be used in a number of heavy-duty applications. Semih Metals offers precision-forged and machined SAE 1541 round bars and rods to automotive, machinery, and agriculture industries, with consistent quality, timely delivery, and technical support according to customer requirements.
SAE 1541 round bars and rods are generally 0.38–0.43% carbon and 1.35–1.65% manganese with minute levels of phosphorus and sulfur. The composition offers high tensile strength and hardness, as well as good wear resistance and fatigue strength. The steel has a normal tensile strength of 700 to 880 MPa and a yield strength of 480 to 620 MPa, based on heat treatment. It is well responsive to quenching and tempering, increasing its mechanical properties even further. SAE 1541 is commonly selected for parts that need greater strength compared to low-carbon steels but with appropriate machinability.

Yes, SAE 1541 round bar can be recycled. Steel alloys like SAE 1541 are highly recyclable and can be melted down and reused for manufacturing new products without losing quality.
SAE 1541 bars and rods are available in various forms, including cold drawn, hot rolled, and forged. They are also offered in different diameters, lengths, and finishes for specific applications.
Yes, laser welding can be used for SAE 1541 steel bar. It offers precise, localized heat application, minimizing distortion and ensuring strong welds, ideal for high-quality, small-scale welds.
SAE 1541 round bars and rods find widespread applications in areas requiring enhanced strength, durability, and fatigue resistance. In the automotive segment, they are used extensively for axle shafts, crankshafts, gears, and connecting rods. In the construction and agricultural industries, SAE 1541 is utilized for heavy-duty machinery components including spindles, pins, and linkages. The ability of the steel to resist repeated stress is what makes it best suited for parts under heavy mechanical loads. It can also be used in forgings and pieces that need induction hardening or other surface treatments for increased wear resistance.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
