AISI 1040
It is a medium-carbon steel renowned for its balance of strength, toughness, and machinability.
Descriptions
1. Chemical Composition
AISI 1040 complies with the following chemical composition (weight %):
2. Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties vary with heat treatment. Typical values for hot-forged and heat-treated AISI 1040:
3. Key Advantages
Excellent Weldability: Suitable for on-site repairs and modifications.
Cost-Effective: Lower material and processing costs compared to alloy steels.
Machinability: Easy to machine into complex shapes with standard tools.
Ductility: Resists fracture under bending or forming operations.
4. Limitations
Low Strength: Not suitable for high-stress or dynamic-load applications (e.g., drill collars, crusher jaws).
Poor Wear Resistance: Requires surface treatments (e.g., carburizing) for abrasive environments.
Corrosion Susceptibility: Needs coatings (galvanizing, painting) for outdoor or humid conditions.
