SAE 1008 is a standard specification for low-carbon steel wire rod
and hot-rolled steel. It is part of the SAE-AISI system, which
classifies steel grades based on their chemical composition and
mechanical properties.
SAE 1008 is characterized by its low carbon content, typically
around 0.10% maximum. This low carbon content contributes to its
excellent formability and weldability. It is considered a versatile
and easily workable grade of steel.
It is commonly used in applications that require low carbon content
and good ductility. It is often utilized in cold-heading and
cold-forming operations, wire drawing, and general fabrication.
This grade of steel is suitable for the production of automotive
parts, fasteners, wire products, and various components where a
combination of strength and formability is required.
