SAE 1008 10mm 500mm*4000mm Low Carbon SAE J403 Steel Plate

 
Description
 
SAE 1008 10mm 500mm*4000mm Low Carbon SAE J403 Steel Plate
 

 
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.
