GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AISI 1010
AISI 1010 may be a low-carbon alloy appropriate in sheet and strips for deep drawing, carburized and structural applications. AISI 1010 is right for the car industry, where it frequently is employed for auto bodies, fenders, and smaller parts including pans and transmission covers.
