1025, 1026, C25, C25E, and C25R are wrought low-carbon non-alloy steels that are used in the normalized, cold worked, or quenched and tempered condition. These steels are widely used for small, moderately stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and also for applications that require a combination of moderate strength, good toughness, and good fabrication characteristics. 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-221. Producer or source: Data Survey.

SAE 1026 is a low-to-medium-carbon steel used in the annealed, hot-worked, normalized, cold-worked or water-quenched-and-tempered condition for a variety of engineering and construction applications. It combines good workability (hot or cold), good machinability and good weldability. It has relatively high manganese (0.60-0.90%); this provides increased hardenability which is reflected in all uses and gives somewhat increased hardness and strength in the core of carburized parts and in uncarburized applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-60. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.
