AISI 1005 Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **Product Specification: AISI 1005 Ultra-Low Carbon Steel** ### **Product Designation** * **Standard Name:** AISI 1005 / SAE 1005 * **UNS Number:** G10050 * **Type:** **Ultra-Low Carbon, Non-Hardenable Plain Carbon Steel** * **Primary Forms:** Hot-rolled or cold-rolled sheet, strip, wire, rod, and bar. * **Key Characteristic:** Exceptionally soft, ductile, and weldable with very low strength in the as-rolled/annealed state. ### **Overview** AISI 1005 is a commercially pure, ultra-low carbon steel at the extreme low end of the carbon steel spectrum. Its defining feature is an extremely low carbon content, resulting in a microstructure that is almost entirely **ferritic**. This gives it outstanding ductility (formability), excellent weldability, and high electrical and thermal conductivity, but very low tensile strength and no capacity for strengthening by heat treatment. It is a fundamental material for deep drawing, cold forging, and applications where maximum softness and magnetic properties are required. --- ### **1. Chemical Composition (Typical % by Weight, AISI/SAE Standard)** The composition is defined by minimal alloying, maximizing iron content. | Element | Content (%) | Role & Effect | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.04 max | **Defining element.** Kept extremely low to ensure a soft, single-phase ferritic structure, maximizing ductility and eliminating hardenability. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.35 max | Aids in deoxidation during steelmaking; minimal strengthening effect. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | 0.040 max | Impurity; affects cold workability if too high. | | **Sulfur (S)** | 0.050 max | Impurity; affects surface finish and weldability. | | **Silicon (Si)** | * | Typically very low or residual; may be specified for specific deoxidation practice (e.g., rimmed, capped, killed). | | **Iron (Fe)** | ~99.5% min | Balance. The high purity contributes to its magnetic and conductive properties. | *Note: Silicon content varies based on deoxidation practice (Rimmed, Capped, or Killed).* --- ### **2. Physical & Mechanical Properties (Annealed/Cold-Rolled State)** **A. Physical Properties** * **Density:** 7.87 g/cm³ (0.284 lb/in³) * **Elastic Modulus (E):** 200 GPa (29,000 ksi) * **Poisson's Ratio:** 0.29 * **Electrical Resistivity:** ~12.5 μΩ·cm (very low, excellent conductor) * **Thermal Conductivity:** ~64 W/m·K (very high) * **Magnetic Properties:** Excellent; exhibits high magnetic permeability and low coercivity, making it a **soft magnetic material**. **B. Mechanical Properties (Typical, Annealed)** *Properties are highly dependent on cold work (temper).* * **Yield Strength (Ann.):** 150 - 275 MPa (22 - 40 ksi) * **Tensile Strength (Ann.):** 285 - 345 MPa (41 - 50 ksi) * **Elongation in 50 mm:** **35% - 45%** (Exceptionally high) * **Hardness (Brinell):** ~95 HB (Rockwell B ~55) * **Machinability:** **Poor** in the annealed state due to extreme gumminess and low hardness. It forms long, stringy chips. * **Hardenability:** **None.** Cannot be strengthened by quenching. * **Work Hardening:** Can be moderately strengthened by cold working (drawing, rolling). --- ### **3. Product Applications** AISI 1005 is used where extreme formability, weldability, or specific electromagnetic properties are paramount, and strength is a secondary concern. * **Deep Drawing & Severe Forming:** * Enclosures, housings, and cans that require complex, deep-drawn shapes without cracking. * **Cold Forging & Extrusion:** * Rivets, screws, and simple fasteners produced by cold heading. * **Wire Products:** * Tie wire, baling wire, and wire for fencing where high ductility is needed for twisting and knotting. * **Electrical & Magnetic Cores:** * Laminations for small transformers, solenoids, relay cores, and other electromagnetic devices where low hysteresis loss (soft magnetism) is critical. *(Often supplied as fully processed electrical steel with specific insulation coatings)*. * **Welded Tubes & Conduit:** * For non-structural applications like electrical conduit or furniture, where easy welding and bending are key. * **Base Metal for Coating:** * Substrate for galvanizing (zinc coating) or electroplating (tin, chromium, nickel) due to its clean, uniform surface. --- ### **4. International Standards & Designations** AISI 1005 is a basic grade with direct equivalents in most global standards. | Standard System | Designation | Notes / Key Comparison | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **SAE / AISI (USA)** | **SAE 1005 / AISI 1005** | The standard designation. | | **UNS (USA)** | **G10050** | Unified Numbering System. | | **ASTM (USA)** | **ASTM A366 (Sheet), A569 (Strip), A108 (Bar)** | Common product form specifications. | | **DIN / EN (Germany/EU)** | **DC01 (EN 10130), 1.0332** | **DC01** is the direct equivalent for cold-forming sheet. **RRSt 14-2.1** is an older designation. | | **JIS (Japan)** | **SPCC, S10C** | **SPCC** (cold-rolled sheet) and **S10C** (bars) are the common equivalents. | | **GB (China)** | **Q195, 08F, 10** | **08F** or **10** are common designations for ultra-low carbon steel for deep drawing. | | **ISO** | **ISO 3573: CR1** | Classification for commercial quality cold-rolled carbon steel sheet. | --- ### **Key Considerations & Processing** 1. **Formability:** Excellent for deep drawing, roll forming, and bending. **Strain Aging:** Can be prone to slight aging (increase in yield strength and loss of ductility) over time after cold working. 2. **Welding:** **Outstanding.** Can be welded by all common processes without pre-heat or post-heat. No risk of hardening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). 3. **Strength Limitation:** Not suitable for any structural or load-bearing application. Strength can only be increased through cold work (work hardening). 4. **Surface Finish:** Often supplied with a smooth, clean finish suitable for painting or plating. ### **Summary** **AISI 1005 is the quintessential ultra-low carbon, high-ductility steel.** Its virtual lack of carbon and alloying elements makes it the material of choice for applications demanding **maximum formability, easy welding, or excellent soft magnetic characteristics**. While it possesses negligible strength and poor machinability, its value lies in its ability to be severely deformed without failure and its favorable electromagnetic properties. It serves as a critical base material for the electrical industry, container manufacturing, and general fabrication where shaping, not load-carrying, is the primary function. Its global equivalents, such as **EN DC01** and **JIS SPCC**, confirm its fundamental role in manufacturing worldwide. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1005 Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4733 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1005 Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
