AISI 1006 Steel, cold drawn Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **Product Specification: AISI 1006 Low Carbon Steel, Cold-Drawn** ### **Product Designation** * **Standard Name:** AISI 1006 / SAE 1006 * **UNS Number:** G10060 * **Condition:** **Cold-Drawn** * **Common Forms:** **Round, Square, Hexagonal, and Flat Bar; Wire** * **Key Features:** Improved surface finish, tight dimensional tolerances, increased strength from cold work, excellent weldability, and good ductility. ### **Overview** AISI 1006 is a very low-carbon, non-hardenable plain carbon steel. In the **cold-drawn** condition, the material is processed by pulling it through a die at room temperature. This cold-working operation significantly improves its surface finish and dimensional accuracy while increasing its yield and tensile strength through strain hardening. Cold-drawn AISI 1006 offers an excellent balance of moderate strength, good ductility, and ease of fabrication (welding, bending), making it a versatile and economical choice for a wide range of manufactured parts and components where precise dimensions and a smooth finish are important. --- ### **1. Chemical Composition (Typical % by Weight, AISI/SAE Standard)** | Element | Content (%) | Role & Effect | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.08 max | Very low carbon ensures excellent weldability, ductility, and formability. Provides minimal strengthening. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.25 - 0.40 | Aids in deoxidation and provides slight solid solution strengthening. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | 0.040 max | Impurity; controlled for formability. | | **Sulfur (S)** | 0.050 max | Impurity; affects machinability and surface finish. | | **Iron (Fe)** | Balance (~99.4%) | Primary constituent. | *Note: This is a "mild steel" with a primarily ferritic microstructure.* --- ### **2. Physical & Mechanical Properties (Cold-Drawn Condition)** **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 * **Thermal Conductivity:** ~63 W/m·K (High) * **Electrical Resistivity:** ~12.2 μΩ·cm (Low, good conductor) * **Magnetic Properties:** Strongly ferromagnetic. **B. Mechanical Properties (Typical for Cold-Drawn Bar)** *Properties are directionally dependent (anisotropic) due to the drawing process.* * **Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** 275 - 415 MPa (40 - 60 ksi) *[Significantly higher than hot-rolled]* * **Tensile Strength:** 345 - 485 MPa (50 - 70 ksi) * **Elongation in 50 mm:** **15% - 25%** (Reduced from annealed state but remains good) * **Hardness (Brinell):** 110 - 170 HB * **Surface Finish:** Smooth, scale-free, with excellent surface integrity. * **Dimensional Tolerance:** Meets ASTM A29 cold-drawn tolerances (much tighter than hot-rolled). * **Machinability:** **Fair to Good.** The cold-worked structure improves chip-breaking compared to the gummy annealed state. Often leads to better surface finish in turned parts. * **Hardenability:** **None.** Cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. --- ### **3. Product Applications** Cold-drawn AISI 1006 is a staple material for general manufacturing, used where consistency, finish, and moderate strength are valued. * **Shafts, Pins, and Spindles:** Non-critical axles, dowel pins, hinge pins, and guide rods. * **Fasteners and Hardware:** Bolts, nuts, rivets (often further cold-headed), washers, and brackets. * **General Machined Components:** Bushings, spacers, rollers, and small levers produced on screw machines or CNCs. * **Welded Fabrications:** Frames, racks, and supports where the smooth, clean surface is ideal for painting or powder coating. * **Automotive Non-Structural Parts:** Bracket assemblies, linkage rods, and trim components. * **Furniture and Display Components:** Tubing, rods, and structural parts requiring a good "as-drawn" finish. * **Base Material for Plating/Coating:** Excellent substrate for zinc plating, chromating, or painting. --- ### **4. International Standards & Designations** | Standard System | Designation | Notes / Key Comparison | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **SAE / AISI (USA)** | **SAE 1006 / AISI 1006** | Base grade designation. | | **UNS (USA)** | **G10060** | Unified Numbering System. | | **ASTM (USA)** | **ASTM A108** (Standard for Steel Bar, Carbon and Alloy, Cold-Finished) | The governing specification for cold-drawn bars. Tolerances per **ASTM A29**. | | **DIN / EN (Germany/EU)** | **DC01 (EN 10130), 1.0330** | **DC01** is the direct equivalent for cold-forming sheet/strip. For bars, **DD11 (1.0338)** or general structural steel **S235JR (1.0038)** are similar in application. | | **JIS (Japan)** | **SS330, SPCC** | **SS330** for general structural use; **SPCC** for cold-rolled sheet. | | **GB (China)** | **Q195, 10** | Common grades for low-carbon steel wire and rod. | | **ISO** | **ISO 3573: CR1, ISO 630-2: E235B** | CR1 for commercial quality sheet; E235B for structural steel. | --- ### **Processing & Design Considerations** 1. **Anisotropic Properties:** Strength is highest in the longitudinal (drawing) direction. Transverse ductility and impact strength are lower. 2. **Stress Relieving:** If subsequent forming (e.g., severe bending) is required after drawing, a low-temperature stress relief (~650°F / 345°C) can restore some ductility and reduce springback. 3. **Weldability:** **Excellent.** No pre-heat or post-heat treatment required. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) will be softened (annealed), creating a local soft spot. 4. **Economical Precision:** The cold-drawing process provides a cost-effective way to achieve tight tolerances and a good finish without extensive machining. ### **Summary** **Cold-drawn AISI 1006 is a fundamental, value-engineered material that provides enhanced mechanical properties and superior dimensional consistency compared to its hot-rolled counterpart.** It is the go-to choice for a vast array of non-critical, mass-produced components where a combination of easy fabrication, good strength-to-weight ratio, and a ready-to-use finish is required. Its excellent weldability and formability make it a favorite in general manufacturing and light fabrication. While not suitable for high-stress or heat-treated applications, its reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness secure its role as a workhorse material in the global supply chain, with direct functional equivalents worldwide (e.g., **ASTM A108, EN DC01**). -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1006 Steel, cold drawn Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4734 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 1006 Steel, cold drawn Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
