It is an economical, general purpose steel grade offering moderate strength and toughness. As a standard grade, 1008 steel is used in many common, low-stress applications. Weldability (spot, projection, butt, and fusion) and brazeability are excellent.
1008 Cold Rolled Steel Plate
This alloy is generally used for “commercial quality” cold rolled steel sheet. It is an economical, general purpose steel grade offering moderate strength and toughness. As a standard grade, 1008 steel is used in many common, low-stress applications. Weldability (spot, projection, butt, and fusion) and brazeability are excellent. Applications include extruded, cold headed, cold upset, and cold pressed parts and forms. It has a very good surface finish that is far superior to hot rolled A36.
Scope of Application
AISI 1008 carbon steel is primarily used in extruded, cold headed, cold upset, and cold pressed parts and forms.
