Categories: Metal; Ferrous Metal; Carbon Steel; AISI 1000 Series Steel; Low Carbon Steel
Material The composition listed is only for structural shapes, plate, sheet, strip, and welded
Notes: tubing. Hot-rolled and cold finished bars, semifinished products for forging, wire
rods, and seamless tubing have a carbon content of 0.13 - 0.18%. Has better
machinability and carburizing characteristics than the more formable extra-low
carbon steels.
