View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

AISI 1095 is a high-carbon, water-hardening tool and spring steel of low hardenability. Depending on the properties required, it may be used in the astrolled, annealed, normalized or liquid-quenched-and-tempered condition. It is hardened by austenitizing and quenching in water (preferably) but it may be quenched in oil if a less drastic quench meets requirements. Its many uses include springs, bushings, drills, hay-rake teeth, pins and ball bearings.
