AISI 1030

Widely used in forged components requiring moderate wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, it finds applications across industries such as oil & gas, mining, automotive, and general machinery.

Descriptions

1. Chemical Composition

AISI 1030 complies with the following composition (weight %):

2. Mechanical Properties

Properties depend on forging processes and heat treatments. Typical values for hot-forged and normalized AISI 1030:

3. Key Advantages

Cost-Effective Strength: Higher strength than low-carbon steels (e.g., AISI 1020) at a moderate cost.

Machinability: Easily machined in annealed or normalized conditions.

Heat Treatability: Responds well to Q&T for enhanced mechanical properties.

4. Limitations

Corrosion Susceptibility: Requires coatings (e.g., galvanizing, painting) for humid or corrosive environments.

Weldability Challenges: Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are necessary to avoid cracking.

Limited Wear Resistance: Needs surface hardening for abrasive applications.
