Aug 23, 2026 0 views 0 comments
Also known as: 1.0601
1.0601 supplied by Shanxi Youte Steel (jlhsteel.net).

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C:0.57-0.65;Mn:≤0.90;Si:≤0.40

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
High-carbon grade for rails, springs, cutting tools, wear plates and components demanding high hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment. Commonly supplied as bar, plate, sheet, tube and forging.

AVAILABLE FORMS
Bar, Plate, Tube, Forging, Wire

STANDARDS & EQUIVALENT GRADES
DIN EN 10083; C60 / AISI 1060

HEAT TREATMENT
Austenitize at 760–820 °C and quench (oil/water) then temper at 150–400 °C for high hardness; spheroidize anneal (680–720 °C) improves machinability of the as-rolled bar.

PROCESSING PRECAUTIONS
Preheat and control interpass temperature when welding; post-weld heat treatment or stress relief is recommended to avoid hard-zone cracking. Use low-hydrogen electrodes. Protect from decarburization during heating (controlled atmosphere or protective coating).

SOURCE & SUPPLY
Shanxi Youte Steel stocks 1.0601 in bars, plates, pipes and forgings with mill test certificates, cut-to-length service and export packaging. Contact our team for quotations and technical data sheets.
