Grade overview

Nominally a low-carbon manganese steel in the SAE 10xx family. Exact chemistry and product tolerances depend on the supplying specification and product form.

Typical applications

Pins, shafts, fixtures, studs, machine parts, brackets, cold-finished bars and general fabrication.

Equivalent / related designations

Comparable European and JIS steels exist, but mechanical condition and dimensional/product standards must be compared before substitution.

Common manufacturers and supply

Widely produced by carbon-bar and long-product mills globally.

Fabrication and selection notes

Confirm the exact product standard, edition, dimensions, delivery condition, mechanical properties, impact requirements, heat treatment, welding procedure, corrosion environment and certification. A grade name alone is not sufficient for procurement or design approval.

QA/QC documentation

For critical service, verify heat number traceability, mill test certificate, chemical analysis, tensile/impact results where required, NDT, heat-treatment record and project-specific third-party inspection requirements.

Element Folio engineering reference. Values and requirements vary by standard edition, product form and manufacturer; always verify the latest governing specification.
