1015, C15E, and C15R are wrought low-carbon non-alloy steels that are used in the as rolled, annealed, normalized, or cold worked condition. These steels are widely used for lightly 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 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-225. Producer or source: Data Survey.

SAE 1015 is a low-carbon steel used in the annealed, cold-worked, hot-rolled or normalized condition for general purpose construction and engineering. It is also used for case-hardened components. It combines good machinability, good workability and good weldability. 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-119. Producer or source: Carbon steel mills.

1015, C15E, and C15R are wrought low-carbon (carbon equals 0.12 to 0.18 percent) non-alloy steels that are used in the as rolled, annealed, normalized, or cold worked condition. They 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. These steels may also be used in the case hardened, nitrided, or nitrocarburized condition. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming and heat treating. Filing Code: CS-266. Producer or source: Heat Treater’s Guide.
