1020 steel Heat Treatment
1020 steel may be hardened by heating to 1500 - 1600 F (1050-1100鈩�)and then water quenching. It should then be tempered. More often it is used as case hardened by carburizing . The cost of doing any heat treatment to such a low carbon steel often precludes doing so for the modest return in mechanical properties obtained.
1020 steel Forging
Forge at 2300 down to 1800 F.
1020 steel Hot Working
Hot work in the range of 900 to 1200 F.
1020 steel Cold Working
1020 steel is readily cold worked by all conventional methods. A stress relief anneal may be needed after extensive cold work.
1020 steel Annealing
A full anneal is done at 1600 to 1800 F followed by slow furnace cooling. This will give a tensile strength of about 65 ksi. A stress relief anneal may be done at 1000 F.
Temper, following heat treatment and quenching, at 600 to 1000 F depending upon strength level desired. A 1000 F temper gives a tensile strength of 90 ksi.
1020 steel Hardening
1020 steel hardens by cold working an by heat treatment, quenching and tempering.
As a 1020 steel manufacturer, we usually keep hundreds tons 1020 steel in stock each month. Based on these stock source, our advantage has spread into steel process like : cutting ( any size and any shape ) drilling, welding, milling, welding. We can also provide the 1020 steel in machining parts and steel structure.
