AISI 1020 has low hardenability properties and is a low tensile carbon steel with a Brinell hardness of 119 – 235, and a tensile strength of 410-790 MPa. It has high machinability, high strength, high ...

AISI 1022 low carbon steel has Brinell hardness ranging between 100 – 170 and it is mostly supplied in the black hot rolled condition. Compared to AISI 1020 steel, AISI 1022 steel has a higher content ...

Low-carbon grades have low tensile strength and are comparatively inexpensive. These are widely used in forming processes that call for bending, crimping, and swaging; they have high surface hardness, ...

THE present study of hardness forms part of a programme of investigation on the influence of very low temperatures on the physical properties of carbon steels and their main constituents ...

What happens to these carbon atoms determines many of the properties of iron and steel. For example, while slowly cooling a low-carbon (0.20% carbon) steel such as AISI 1020, transformation starts ...

Nitrided steels can also have surface hardness well above 70 HRC, perfect for long-term wear resistance. Nitriding is not limited to only these ferrous alloys, either; low carbon steels can be ...
