AISI 1010

General Characteristics of AISI 1010

AISI 1010 is a low-carbon alloy appropriate in sheet and strips for deep drawing, carburized and structural applications. AISI 1010 is ideal for the automobile industry, where it frequently is used for auto bodies, fenders, and smaller parts including pans and transmission covers.

Chemical Composition of AISI 1010

  • Carbon 0.08-0.13
  • Manganese 0.30-0.60
  • Phosphorus 0.040 max
  • Sulfur 0.050 max
  • Silicon 0.10 max
  • Iron balance

Heat Treatment of AISI 1010

  • Normalize at 1725° to 1775°F (941° to 968°C) before air cooling
  • Anneal at 1650° to 1750°F (899° to 954°C) before furnace cooling
  • Harden at 1650° to 1700°F (899° to 927°C) before quenching in water, brine or caustic
  • Can be case hardened

Applications of AISI 1010

  • Automobile components, including auto bodies, fenders, pans, transmission covers
  • Structural shapes
