AISI 1030 is a medium-carbon steel grade in the AISI/SAE steel designation system. It contains approximately 0.28% to 0.34% carbon content, making it a medium-carbon steel. AISI 1030 carbon steel is known for its good strength, toughness, and machinability.
The chemical composition of AISI 1030 carbon steel typically includes:
- Carbon (C): 0.28% – 0.34%
- Manganese (Mn): 0.60% – 0.90%
- Phosphorus (P): 0.04% max
- Sulfur (S): 0.05% max
AISI 1030 carbon steel plates are commonly used in various applications that require moderate strength and hardness. It finds applications in industries such as automotive, construction, machinery, and equipment manufacturing. The medium carbon content provides good mechanical properties and machinability, making it suitable for parts that require strength and ease of machining.
