1020/1.0402 Carbon Steel
AISI 1020 carbon steel is a low carbon steel which has at least 0.17%C and 0.3%Mn. It has a good combination of strength and ductility and can be carburized,but due to its low carbon content, it is difficult to induction hardening or flame hardening. Due to lack of alloying elements, it is not suitable for nitriding.AISI 1020 steel can be easily machined,and can be welded easily using all of the traditional methods.
