SAE 1524 Steel Alloy Powder Description
SAE 1524 Steel Alloy Powder, as the name suggests, would be a powdered form of SAE 1524 steel, a medium-carbon manganese steel specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). While SAE 1524 is commonly available in bar, rod, and wire forms, it may not be standard to find it as a commercially available powder for additive manufacturing or powder metallurgy. However, discussing its properties in a hypothetical context as a powder can be useful for understanding its potential applications.
SAE-AISI 1524 steel is a resulfurized carbon steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 1524 is the designation in both the SAE and AISI systems for this material.
