AISI 1214 is a resulfurized and rephosphorized free machining steel with a carbon content ranging from 0.13-0.23%, manganese content of 0.60-0.90%, with phosphorous content of 0.04% and sulfur content of 0.24-0.33% respectively. This addition improves machinability and, therefore, makes possible the performing of high-speed operations. It has good welding performance and cold working annealing also does not present problems. A lot of times made to order in industrial operations with fine shaped features and tighter tolerances which in turn are used for parts such as machine components, bolts, nuts and studs. AISI 1214 available by the AISI grades as well as round bars, squares, hexes, and etc. The chemical properties of it which makes it significantly efficiency and precision oriented is the reason it is mostly used in the fields having efficiency and precision at higher levels.

AISI 1214 carbon steel, which is also known as resulfurized and rephosphorized carbon steel has greatly improved machinability because of its well improved sulfur and phosphorus content. The chemical constituents such as 0.10-0.14% carbon, 0.60-0.90% manganese, 0.04-0.09% sulfur, and 0.35-0.65% phosphorus of ferrous are relatively stable. Its composition is excellent machinability factor which leads to its applicability in many sector which require precision machining processes Certainly lots of parts and also products which are manufactured by means of AISI 1214 where hits precise machining is essential are well known such as bolts, nuts, studs. It belongs to the group of steel grades with low carbon content, preferred by operators due to its perfect machining qualities.
