As a member of the AISI 10xx series, AISI 1006 contains slightly higher carbon content than AISI 1005, providing marginally better strength while maintaining excellent formability and weldability. The cold drawing process involves pulling hot-rolled steel through a die at room temperature, resulting in work hardening that improves tensile strength, yield strength, and surface characteristics. This product is particularly valued in precision manufacturing applications where tight tolerances, smooth surface finish, and consistent mechanical properties are essential. Cold drawn AISI 1006 offers an optimal balance between machinability, formability, and strength for a wide range of industrial components. --- ## **Chemical Composition (Weight %)** ### **Standard Composition Range** | Element | Minimum | Maximum | Typical | |---------|---------|---------|---------| | Carbon (C) | 0.05 | 0.08 | 0.06 | | Manganese (Mn) | 0.25 | 0.45 | 0.35 | | Phosphorus (P) | - | 0.030 | 0.012 | | Sulfur (S) | - | 0.035 | 0.018 | | Silicon (Si) | - | 0.10 | 0.06 | | Iron (Fe) | Balance | Balance | Balance | ### **Additional Processing Elements** * **Deoxidation Practice:** Typically aluminum-killed (0.02-0.07% Al) for improved surface quality * **Residual Elements:** * Copper (Cu): ≤0.20% * Nickel (Ni): ≤0.20% * Chromium (Cr): ≤0.15% * Molybdenum (Mo): ≤0.05% ### **Key Composition Features** * **Low Carbon Content:** Ensures good weldability and formability * **Controlled Manganese:** Provides solid solution strengthening without compromising ductility * **Low Sulfur/Phosphorus:** Minimizes inclusions and improves cold working characteristics * **Consistent Chemistry:** Essential for predictable cold drawing behavior and final properties --- ##
