What is the difference between 1018 and 1010 steel?

May 15, 2025

What is the difference between 1018 and 1010 steel?

The primary difference between 1010 and 1018 steel lies in their carbon content, which affects their strength and other properties. 1010 steel has a lower carbon content (0.08% - 0.13%), while 1018 steel has a higher carbon content (0.14% - 0.20%). 1018 is generally considered stronger and more machinable than 1010, while 1010 is more ductile.

 

What is the equivalent of AISI 1010 steel?

AISI 1010 steel, a common low-carbon steel, has various equivalent grades across different standards and organizations. These include SAE J527, ASTM MT 1010, ASTM M1012, ASTM M1010, ASTM 130, ASTM 1012, ASTM 1010, ASME G10120, ASME G10100, SAE SAE J526, ASTM M1008, ASTM G10130, and AMS 5053. EN designations include HS12, HS4, ERW101, DC03, DC01, 1.1207, 1.1121, 1.0357, 1.0347, and 1.0330. ISO names include CC8X, CC8A, CC11X, CC11A, HR1, CR2, and CE10. Other designations include AMS 5050, AMS 5055, and AMS 5040.

 

What is the difference between 1008 and 1010 steel?
1008 and 1010 steel are both low-carbon steels, with 1008 having a slightly lower carbon content than 1010. This difference, though small, affects their mechanical properties, including strength and formability.

 

What is 1010 steel used for?

1010 steel, a type of hot-rolled carbon steel, is commonly used in various applications, including materials handling, automotive parts, and construction due to its good formability, weldability, and relatively low cost. It's also suitable for cold-headed fasteners, bolts, and in wire products like racks and storage bins.

 

What is the standard SAE 1010?

SAE 1010 chemical composition has different chemical composition and some composition can be well discussed as C= 0.10%, MN =0.45%, P=0.04% max, S=0.05% pass with flying colors. SAE 1010 hardness is a carbon steel expressed for major starting into wrought products.

 

What is the hardness of 1010 steel?

Physical Properties Metric English
Hardness, Brinell 105 105
Hardness, Knoop 123 123
Hardness, Rockwell B 60 60
Hardness, Vickers 108 108
