View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.AISI 1548 is a medium-carbon steel with a relatively high manganese content (1.10-1.40%). It can be used in a wide range of applications in the hot-rolled, normalized, annealed, cold-worked or liquid-quenched-and-tempered condition. It combines good machinability, with good workability. Among its many uses are automotive parts, farm machinery, shafts, hand tools and springs.
