SAE/AISI 1060 Round Bar (UNS G10600)
SAE/AISI 1060 Round Bar is a high-carbon steel containing approximately 0.60% carbon, offering high strength, excellent hardness, and superior wear resistance compared to medium-carbon grades. This steel responds very well to heat treatment and is commonly supplied in annealed, normalized, or quenched & tempered conditions for demanding mechanical and industrial applications.
Key Features
- High carbon content for increased strength and hardness
- Excellent response to quenching and tempering
- High wear and abrasion resistance
- Good toughness after proper heat treatment
- Suitable for induction and flame hardening
