1010/15 Steel

1010/15 Steel

1010/15 Steel

(OP)
Can anyone tell me what 1010/15 steel is?  Is this an AISI designation?

Thanks in advance

RE: 1010/15 Steel

It is a designation that used to be handled by AISI.  Now, ASTM and SAE use these old designations in their standards.

RE: 1010/15 Steel

In general the first two digits tell you the basic alloying elements, 10 being plain steel.  The second two digits are the carbon content in 1/100's of a percent (used to be call points).  So a 10 here is 0.10% Carbon.

In some cases these are specific alloy designations, and in some cases they are just a shorthand name.  Make sure that you really know what alloy you are calling for.
