ASTM A684 1060 Cold Rolled High Carbon Steel Strip

We stock a large range of carbon steels which can be slit to the customers requirement. We also have a wide range of excess offcuts which may be of interest.

High Carbon Steel Strip can be produced to a large variety of tensile strengths/hardnesses to suit the subsequent component-manufacturing processes and end-uses involved. The softened/annealed condition provides maximum deformability for more complex component shapes or, alternatively, lower relative wear on component-forming tools. In this condition hardnesses of 160 - 200 VPN (equivalent to tensile strength up to about 690 N/mm²) would be typical.

Chemical Composition

Silicon composition as one of the following:

Type 2: 0.10 max

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.

Heat Treatment

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 applications 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 applications. 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.

Surface 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.

Introduction

1060 steel is an unalloyed medium carbon engineering steel which has 0.57%-0.65% Carbon as per EN10083 standard.It has characteristics similar to that of 1055 carbon steel which has high hardness and high strength after hardening.1060 steel is difficult to weld,and machinability is poor due to high carbon content.This steel is generally supplied in an untreated or normalised condition.

Application

Steel grade 1060 is a machine building and general-purpose steel. In the machine building industry, steel of this grade is often used in automobile parts, which require high strength and wear resistance, such as axles, shafts, pistons, gears and clutch discs, as well as in solid railway wheels.
