In this post I'll talk about SAE 1137. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
What is SAE 1137?
SAE 1137 is a resulfurized carbon steel that contains 0.37% carbon (approximately).Application
They are used in seamless mechanical tubing.UNS Number

My Material's Ranking Research
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and SAE 1137 currently ranks 135 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 134 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 162 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my material's comparison post for more details.
