Introduction to SAE1050 steel plate

SAE1050 steel plate is a high-strength medium carbon steel with low cold deformation plasticity, poor weldability and hardenability, but no temper brittleness and acceptable cutting performance. It is generally used under normalizing or quenching and tempering.

SAE1050 finished melting analysis:

Composition Notes: Ni, Cr, and Cu are residual elements.

SAE1050 executive standard: ASTM A29/A 29M-05

SAE1050 steel is used to manufacture machined parts and spring parts with high requirements on wear resistance and little dynamic load and impact, such as forged gears, tie rods, rolls, shafts, friction discs, agricultural earth-moving ploughshares, heavy-duty mandrels, etc. SAE1050 is equivalent to 50# steel grade.
