AISI 1026

AISI 1026

Carbon steels are steels that contain only carbon as their specific alloying element. Traces of 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese can be found in these steels. Carbon steels also contain small quantities of residual elements such as copper, nickel, molybdenum, aluminium and chromium.
