C1026
C1026 is a medium-carbon steel grade classified under ASTM A29/A29M standards, optimized for cold forging and machining.
Descriptions
1. Chemical Composition
The chemical compositions of AISI 1008 and 1010 (per ASTM A29/A29M and SAE J403 standards) are:
2. Mechanical Properties
Typical mechanical properties for C1026 forgings (cold-finished or annealed condition):
3. Key Advantages
Cold Forgeability: Excellent for high-speed cold forming without cracking.
Machinability: Good for drilling, threading, and milling in annealed condition.
Cost Efficiency: Ideal for mass production of small to medium-sized parts.
Surface Quality: Smooth finish suitable for plating (e.g., zinc, nickel).
4. Limitations
Limited Weldability: Prone to cracking if welded without pre/post-heat treatment.
Corrosion Sensitivity: Requires coatings for outdoor or corrosive environments.
Not for High-Temperature Use: Loses strength above 300°C (570°F).
