Mahesh Bright SteelQuality Changes World
SAE 1010 is a very low carbon steel chosen where formability is the priority. With carbon typically around 0.08–0.13%, it cold forms, bends and deep draws readily without cracking, and welds without difficulty.
It is a common choice for cold headed fasteners, pressed components and parts that undergo significant deformation during manufacture. We supply SAE 1010 bright bar from our Pune facilities in round, square and hexagonal profiles.
| Element | Typical Range (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.08 – 0.13 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.30 – 0.60 |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.040 max |
| Sulphur (S) | 0.050 max |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.10 max |
Indicative ranges based on published standard specifications. Actual values vary by heat — mill test certificates are supplied with every consignment.
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Condition | Cold drawn / bright |
| Formability | Excellent |
| Weldability | Excellent |
| Strength | Low — formability prioritised |
| Typical use | Cold forming, deep drawing, fasteners |
Properties depend on size, condition and processing route. Contact us to confirm against your specification.
Manufactured at our Pune facilities — factory pricing with no trading margin.
Uniform chemistry batch to batch, which matters when forming to tight limits.
Supplied with every despatch so your incoming inspection has what it needs.
SAE 1010 is used where parts undergo heavy cold deformation — cold headed fasteners, pressed and drawn components, and general low stress engineering parts.
SAE 1010 has lower carbon, so it is softer and more formable but weaker. SAE 1018 has slightly more carbon, giving a little more strength while still forming and welding well.
Yes, low carbon grades like SAE 1010 respond to carburising, though SAE 1018 is more commonly specified where a case hardened part also needs some core strength.
This depends on size and profile. Contact us with your requirement and we will advise.
