1033

AISI/SAE 1033 carbon / alloy steel.

Chemical Composition (%)

C0.33
MN0.3
P0.04
S0.05

Applications

International high-end steel grade for aerospace, oil & gas, defense or engineering machinery.

Available Forms

Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire, powder

Uses

Medium-carbon grade for machine parts such as gears, crankshafts, axles, connecting rods, spindles and forgings that need a balance of strength, toughness and machinability. Commonly supplied as bar, plate, sheet, tube and forging.

Heat Treatment

Austenitize at 820–870 °C (oil or water quench depending on section) and temper at 400–650 °C to the required strength/toughness balance.

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).
