ASTM A684 1086 Cold Rolled High Carbon Steel Strip

AISI 1086 is a high-carbon water of oil-hardening steel of low hardenability. It is used for music wire, tools springs, machinery parts and many other applications. It develops high surface hardness on quenching and tempering lightly and has good wear resistance.

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Chemical Composition

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Manufacture Condition:

1 The strip shall be furnished cold rolled spheroidized annealed, soft annealed, intermediate hardness, or full hard, as specified.

2 Intermediate hardness may be obtained by either rolling the strip after final annealing or by varying the annealing treatment, or both.

3 Pinch Pass一Spheroidized annealed and annealed material may be pinch rolled after the final anneal to improve flatness, uniformly oil, modify surface, obtain proper mechanical properties, and minimize stretcher strains if required by the purchaser.

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Grain Size:

Unless otherwise specified, the steel strip shall be manufactured to a fine grain (austenitic and ferritic) practice.

Pearlite is the normal structure of cold rolled high- carbon strip unless it has had an intermediate anneal.

High carbon steel is an ideal material for custom flat springs, custom clips, and custom sheet metal stampings. High Carbon Steel Strips combines ease of fabrication with good strength and surface finish, is valued for its strength properties and operates at significantly higher levels than the mild steel grades. High carbon steel strip can be finished to meet the needs of a wide range of products. Where tensile strength and hardness are required, High Carbon steels are the material of choice. High Carbon Steel Strips Grades : C60, C65, C70, C75, C85, HC-14, En 42 J, C-98, C-100, C-124, HC21 etc. We offer spring steel strip in various shapes and sizes according to your final uses. These have excellent hardens property and high yield strength. Clients can avail these at competitive prices.

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Finish

Surface—The strip shall be furnished with a No. 2 Regular Bright or No. 1 Matte (Dull) finish, as specified.

Oiling—The strip shall be furnished oiled or dry, as specified.

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Finish

Cold-rolled carbon steel strip shall be supplied with the following finishes.

1 Number 1 or Matte (Dull) 一Finish without luster, produced by rolling on rolls roughened by mechanical or chemical means. This finish is especially suitable for lacquer or paint adhesion, and is beneficial in aiding drawing operations by reducing the contact friction between the die and the strip.

2 Number 2 (Regular Bright) Finish—Finish produced by rolling on rolls having a moderately smooth finish. It is less suitable that No. 1 (matte) finish for cold forming and may be applicable for certain types of plating.

cold-rolled high-carbon strip in coils or cut lengths is classified as product that is 0.3000 in. [7.6 mm] or less in thickness and over 1/2 to 23 15/16 in. [12.5 to 600 mm] in width, inclusive. Strip tolerance products may be available in widths wider than 23 15/16 in. (600 mm) by agreement between purchaser and supplier; however, such products are technically classified as cold-rolled sheet. The maximum of the specified carbon range is over 0.25 to 1.35 %, inclusive.

1086 Cold Rolled Steel Strip Ordering Information

ASTM designation and date of issue.

Name, type, and steel grade number.

Hardness (if intermediate or restricted hardness is specified).

Decarburization (if required).

Application.

Dimensions.

Coil size requirements.

Package (bare coils, skid, and so forth).

Cast or heat (formerly ladle) analysis report (if required).

SAE-AISI 1086 steel is a carbon (non-alloy) steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 1086 is the designation in both the SAE and AISI systems for this material. 1.1269 is the EN numeric designation. And G10860 is the UNS number.It has a fairly low ductility and can have a fairly high tensile strength among wrought carbon or non-alloy steels.

It is furnished in the following types as specified:

1 Soft spheroidized annealed high-carbon steel is intended for applications requiring maximum cold forming. It is normally produced to give the lowest maximum Rockwell hardness for each grade.

2 Soft annealed high-carbon steel is intended for application requiring moderate cold forming. It is produced to a maximum Rockwell hardness.

3 Intermediate hardness high-carbon steel is intended for applications where cold forming is slight or a stiff, springy product is needed, or both. It is produced to specified Rockwell hardness ranges, the maximum being higher than obtained for the annealed type.

4 Full hard high-carbon steel is intended for flat application. It is produced to minimum Rockwell hardness requirements, which vary with grade, microstructure and gauge. Full hard can be produced with either a pearlitic or spheroidized microstructure or a mixture of both. The minimum hardness should be established between the consumer and the producer.
