    AISI 1040: Typical Analysis

    Uploaded by

    ho_chauhan
    AISI 1040 is a general purpose mild steel that is medium in carbon content. It can be forged, cold drawn, machined, and heat treated through processes like hardening and tempering to achieve desired properties. Common applications include axles, bolts, shafts, gears, and other machinery parts. While it has good wear resistance when hardened, AISI 1040 is not readily welded due to its carbon content.

    AISI 1040

    Typical analysis
    AISI 1040 1045 C 0.37 - 0.40 0.43 - 0.50 Mn 0.60 - 0.90 0.60 - 0.90 P max. 0.04 max. 0.04 S max. 0.05 max. 0.05

    A general purpose mild steel, medium-carbon fine grain machinery steel. In the production of this grade special controls are used for chemical composition, heating, rolling and surface preparation. These bars are suitable for applications of forging, cold drawing, machining, heat treating ( including flame hardening ). Good wear resistance can be obtained by flame or induction hardening.

    Typical applications
    Axles, bolts, shafts, machinery parts, lightly stressed gears, pinions forming dies.

    Machinability
    AISI 1040 in the as rolled bar has a machinability rating of 62% of AISI B-1112. Average surface cutting speed is 105 feet per minute.

    Shear strength
    The ultimate shear strength is approximately 66% of the ultimate tensile strength.

    Weldability
    Due to high carbon content, this material is not readily welded. With thin sections and flexible design, gas or arc welding may be used without preheating, but in joints over 1/2" to 3/4" thick, preheating is necessary. To develop equivalent strength in a weld, a low alloy filler is recommended. The grade of welding rod to be used depends on thickness of section, design, service requirements and so on.
