About
Carbon Steel 1020 is a common plain carbon steel with 0.18–0.23% carbon that offers a good combination of strength and ductility and can be hardened or carburized.
Cold-rolled material is about 420 MPa tensile, 350 MPa yield, 15% elongation, and 121 HB; hot-rolled is typically about 380 MPa and 205 MPa minimum, with higher ductility.
Carbon Steel 1020 is well suited to shafts, pins, brackets, and general-purpose machine parts.
