N/A This product is often referred to as pump shafting or pump rod, due to its high degree of straightness, which is so important in high-speed shafting applications. This special straightness serves to prevent vibration and wear on packings and bearings, which must be avoided in deep well pump work. Precision Shafting is also used for motor shafts and similar applications where high-speed work necessitates straightness and accuracy along with the ability to be machined unsymmetrically with practically no danger of warpage.

N/A Machinability rating is approximately 64% based on 1212 as 100%. Average surface cutting speed is 95 to 105 feet per minute.

N/A Due to higher carbon content, this material is not readily welded. With thin sections and flexible design, gas or arc welding may be used without preheating, but in joints over 1/2" to 3/4" thick preheating is necessary. To develop equivalent strength in a weld, a low alloy tiller is recommended. Stress relieving after welding is also recommended. The grade of welding rod to be used depends on thickness of section, design, service requirements, etc.
