AISI 1029 Steel Composition Spec (UNS G10290) Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Technical Data Sheet: AISI 1029 / UNS G10290 Steel - Chemical Composition & Specification** --- #### **1. Product Overview** AISI 1029 (UNS G10290) is a standard medium-carbon, non-alloy (carbon) steel under the ASTM AISI-SAE designation system. It is primarily defined by its chemical composition range and is not as commonly specified as the closely related AISI 1026 or 1030 grades. Its key characteristic is a balanced carbon-manganese content that provides higher strength and good hardenability compared to lower carbon steels (e.g., 1020), while maintaining reasonable ductility and machinability. It is typically supplied in hot-rolled, cold-drawn, or annealed conditions and serves as a versatile, cost-effective material for mechanical components requiring moderate strength and wear resistance, often through subsequent heat treatment. --- #### **2. Standard Chemical Composition** The identity of AISI 1029 is defined by its chemical limits. The following table presents the standard composition ranges as per SAE J403 and related specifications. | Element | Composition (% by Weight) | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.25 - 0.31 | Primary strengthening element. Provides increased tensile strength and hardenability over 1020/1025 grades. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.60 - 0.90 | Enhances hardenability, strength, and deoxidizes the melt. Key in defining its response to heat treatment. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | ≤ 0.040 (Max) | Impurity element. Kept low to prevent embrittlement. | | **Sulfur (S)** | ≤ 0.050 (Max) | Impurity element. Kept low to prevent hot shortness. Higher levels (0.08-0.13%) are allowed for "resulturized" free-machining variants (e.g., 1129). | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.15 - 0.35 (Typical) | Common deoxidizer. Contributes to strength and hardenability. | | **Iron (Fe)** | Balance | The base element. | **Key Distinction:** The primary difference between **AISI 1029** and the very common **AISI 1030** lies in the manganese range. 1029 has a Mn range of 0.60-0.90%, while 1030 typically has 0.60-1.00% or 0.70-1.00% in some standards, giving 1030 marginally higher potential hardenability. --- #### **3. Typical Mechanical Properties (As-Hot Rolled or Normalized)** *Mechanical properties are highly dependent on the processing condition (hot-rolled, cold-drawn, heat-treated) and section size. The following are approximate values for hot-rolled bars in the 19-32 mm (0.75-1.25 in) round section.* | Property | Typical Value / Range | Condition / Note | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Tensile Strength** | 470 - 540 MPa (68 - 78 ksi) | As-Hot Rolled | | **Yield Strength (0.2% Offset)** | 300 - 385 MPa (44 - 56 ksi) | As-Hot Rolled | | **Elongation in 2" (50 mm)** | 18% - 22% | As-Hot Rolled | | **Reduction of Area** | 40% - 50% | As-Hot Rolled | | **Brinell Hardness (HB)** | 149 - 183 | As-Hot Rolled | | **Machinability** | ~60% (vs. 100% for 1212) | In annealed or cold-drawn condition. Good with appropriate tools and speeds. | | **Weldability** | Fair | Pre-heating and post-weld stress relief are recommended due to medium carbon content. | --- #### **4. Heat Treatment Response** AISI 1029 is readily heat-treatable. Its medium carbon and manganese content make it suitable for processes that increase strength and wear resistance. * **Annealing:** Heat to ~845-870°C (1550-1600°F), slow furnace cool. Produces a soft, machinable microstructure. * **Normalizing:** Heat to ~870-925°C (1600-1700°F), air cool. Refines grain structure and improves mechanical uniformity. * **Quenching & Tempering (Through-Hardening):** * **Austenitizing:** ~830-855°C (1525-1575°F) * **Quenchant:** Oil (preferred for medium sections to reduce distortion/cracking) or water (for maximum hardness on simple shapes). * **Tempering:** Typically between 425-650°C (800-1200°F) to achieve desired strength/toughness balance. Can achieve tensile strengths well over 700 MPa (100 ksi) with proper treatment. * **Surface Hardening:** An excellent candidate for **flame hardening** or **induction hardening**, creating a hard, wear-resistant surface while retaining a tough core. --- #### **5. International Standard Equivalents** | Standard System | Equivalent Designation | Primary Specification | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **UNS** | **G10290** | Unified Numbering System | | **SAE / AISI** | **1029** | SAE J403 | | **ASTM** | (Referenced in bar specs) | ASTM A29, A108 (for cold-finished) | | **EN (Europe)** | 1.1158 (C29E) | EN 10083-2 | | **ISO** | Type C29E | ISO 683-18 | | **JIS (Japan)** | S28C, S30C (Similar) | JIS G4051 | | **GB (China)** | 30# | GB/T 699 | | **DIN (Germany)** | 1.1158, Ck29 | DIN 17200 / EN 10083-2 | --- #### **6. Primary Applications** AISI 1029 is used in a wide range of general engineering and automotive components where a balance of strength, toughness, and cost is required, often followed by heat treatment. * **Automotive & Transportation:** * Axle shafts (heat-treated) * Gears, pinions, and sprockets * Crankshafts and connecting rods (for non-critical applications) * Steering linkage components * **General Machinery & Equipment:** * Shafts, spindles, and pins (through-hardened or surface hardened) * Bolts, studs, and fasteners (Grade 8.8 equivalent) * Hydraulic cylinder rods and piston rods * Forklift tines and components * **Agricultural Equipment:** * Implement drive shafts * Plow shares and tillage tools (often surface hardened) * Pivot pins and bushings * **Forging Stock:** Used as billet material for various closed-die forgings requiring subsequent heat treatment. --- #### **7. Key Distinctions & Selection Notes** * **vs. AISI 1026:** 1029 has higher carbon (0.29% nominal vs. 0.26%), offering slightly higher strength and hardness in the same condition. * **vs. AISI 1030:** Chemically very similar; 1030 often has a slightly wider/higher Mn range, making it functionally interchangeable with 1029 in most applications. 1030 is far more commonly stocked and specified. * **Procurement Tip:** Due to its lower commercial prevalence, AISI 1029 may not be readily available from stock. **AISI 1030 is often supplied in its place** as it meets or exceeds the chemical and mechanical requirements for applications designed for 1029. Always confirm with the supplier on available grades. --- **Disclaimer:** This information is for reference purposes.
