INTRODUCTION

 Carbon steels are those that

have carbon as the main alloying
element. They also contain up to 0.4%
silicon and 1.2% manganese. In
addition, the residual elements such as
copper, molybdenum, aluminium,
chromium and nickel are present in
these steels.
STEEL AISI 1030

 The AISI 1030 steel is a high carbon

steel, and has moderate strength and
hardness in the as-rolled condition. It
can be hardened and strengthened by
cold work. It also has fair machinability,
ductility and good weldability.

FABRICATION AND HEAT
TREATMENT
 Machinability
The machinability rating of AISI 1030 carbon steel is 70.
 Forming
The formability of AISI 1030 carbon steel in the
annealed condition is good.
 Welding
AISI 1030 carbon steel can be welded by all welding
methods. It is advisable to pre-heat the heavy sections
of this steel at 149 to 260°C (300 to 500°F) and then
post-heat at 593 to 649°C (1100 to 1200°F) for welding.
 Heat Treatment
AISI 1030 carbon steel is heat treated at 816 to 871°C
(1500 to 1600°F) and quenched in water. This process
is followed by a tempering treatment.
 Forging
AISI 1030 carbon steel is forged at 982 to
1260°C (1800 to 2300°F).
 Hot Working
Hot working of AISI 1030 carbon steel is
performed at 93 to 482°C (200 to 900°F).
 Cold Working
In the annealed condition, cold working of
AISI 1030 steel may be performed by
conventional methods. After annealing, a
full or stress relief anneal may be required.
 Annealing
Annealing of AISI 1030 carbon steel is
carried out at 871 to 982°C (1600 to
1800°F) and then slow cooled in the
furnace. Stress relief annealing may be
carried out at 538°C (1000°F).
 Hardening
AISI 1030 carbon steel is hardened by
heat treatment or cold working.
 Applications
AISI 1030 carbon steel is suitable for
manufacturing machinery parts.
