AISI 1541 is a medium-carbon steel containing relatively high manganese (1.35-1.65%). It is characterized by a combination of good machinability and good workability. It may be used in the hot-rolled, annealed, normalized, cold-worked or liquid-quenched-and-tempered condition for numerous applications. Its high manganese content provides increased hardenability which is reflected in increased strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-75. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.

1023 and S22C are wrought low-carbon non-alloy steels (C = 0.20–0.25%, Mn = 0.30–0.60%) that are used in the as rolled, normalized, or cold worked condition. These steels are widely used for lightly and moderately stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and also for applications where a combination of low-to-medium strength, good cold formability, and good weldability are required. They may also be used in the carburized or carbonitrided, and subsequently quench hardened and tempered, condition for parts requiring a hard, wear-resistant surface, but with little need for increased mechanical properties in the core. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CS-235. Producer or source: Data Survey.

1017 and S17C are wrought low-carbon (C = 0.15–0.20%) non-alloy steels that are used in the as rolled, normalized, or cold worked condition. These steels are widely used for lightly and moderately stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and also for applications where a combination of low-to-medium strength, excellent cold formability, and excellent weldability are required. They may also be used in the carburized or carbonitrided, and subsequently quench hardened and tempered condition for parts requiring a hard, wear-resistant surface, but with little need for increased mechanical properties in the core. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CS-234. Producer or source: Data Survey.

1038 and 1038H are wrought medium-carbon non-alloy steels that are used in the normalized, cold worked, or quenched and tempered condition. 1038 and 1038H may also be flame or induction hardened. These steels are widely used for moderately and highly stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and where the expense of an alloy steel is not justified. 1038 and 1038H are one of the most widely used steels for threaded fasteners. Their popularity stems from their excellent cold-heading properties, low cost and availability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CS-230. Producer or source: Data Survey.
