AISI 1080 is a high-carbon steel grade in the AISI/SAE steel designation system. It contains approximately 0.75% to 0.88% carbon content, which classifies it as a high-carbon steel. AISI 1080 carbon steel is known for its strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
The chemical composition of AISI 1080 carbon steel typically includes:
- Carbon (C): 0.75% – 0.88%
- Manganese (Mn): 0.60% – 0.90%
- Phosphorus (P): 0.04% max
- Sulfur (S): 0.05% max
AISI 1080 carbon steel plates are primarily used in applications that require high strength and durability. It finds applications in various industries such as automotive, construction, machinery, and tools.
