General Characteristics of AISI 1015

AISI 1015 is a low-carbon steel that offers superior workability and machinability. A versatile engineering and machinery alloy, AISI 1015 is used normalized, hot-rolled, cold-worked or annealed.

Chemical Composition of AISI 1015

• Carbon 0.13-0.18
• Manganese 0.30-0.60
• Phosphorus 0.040-max
• Sulfur 0.050 max
• Silicon (optional)
  • 0.10 max
  • 0.10-0.20
  • 0.15-0.30
  • 0.20-0.40
  • 0.30-0.60
• Iron balance

Heat Treatment of AISI 1015

• Normalize at 1675° to 1725°F (913° to 941°C) before air cooling
• Full anneal at 1600° to 1725°F (871° to 941°C) before furnace cooling
• Process anneal after cold working at 1100° to 1225°F (593° to 663°C)
• Harden
  • Carburized
  • Not carburized
  • Can be case hardened

Applications of AISI 1015

• Machinery parts
• Construction components
  • Trusses
  • Building sections
• Tool  and die applications
• Cold-extruded and case-hardened parts

Machinability of AISI 1015

• Readily machined
  • Annealed
  • Normalized
  • Cold-drawn
  • Quenched, tempered
• Good surface finish may be compromised from tearing in annealed state

Workability of AISI 1015

• Hot roll or forge from 1800° to 2300°F (982° to 1260°C)
• Intermediate annealing required for substantial cold work
• Fully anneal when further cold work will follow extensive cold work
