What type of steel is 1008?

Carbon Steel
1008 Cold Rolled Steel is a standard grade Carbon Steel. This alloy is generally used for “commercial quality” cold rolled steel sheet. It is an economical, general purpose steel grade offering moderate strength and toughness. As a standard grade, 1008 steel is used in many common, low-stress applications.

What is the difference between AISI and ASTM?

AISI is the American Iron and Steel Institute while ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials. AISI operates in the United States and North America only while ASTM has members from more than 100 countries making it an international organization.

Is AISI and SAE the same?

In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels. These efforts were similar and overlapped significantly. For several decades the systems were united into a joint system designated the AISI/SAE steel grades. In 1995 the AISI turned over future maintenance of the system to SAE because the AISI never wrote any of the specifications.

What is ASTM steel standards?

Steel Standards. ASTM’s steel standards are instrumental in classifying, evaluating, and specifying the material, chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of the different types of steels, which are primarily used in the production of mechanical components, industrial parts, and construction elements, as well as other accessories related…

What is ASTM standard for mild steel?

ASTM A36 is the most commonly used mild and hot-rolled steel. It has excellent welding properties and is suitable for grinding, punching, tapping, drilling and machining processes. Yield strength of ASTM A36 is less than that of cold roll C1018, thus enabling ASTM A36 to bend more readily than C1018.
