About 11L17|Leaded version of
1117. Adds lead on top of the manganese and sulfur for even better machinability while retaining the ability to be carburized. Best of both worlds for high-volume screw machine production of case-hardened parts. Same limitations as all leaded steels. If your application needs easy machining, case hardening, and high volume, this is the material. Being phased out of some specs due to lead content. Compare to 1117 (same but without lead) and
12L14 (better machinability but no case-hardening ability).
