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.

SAE 1017 is a carbon steel with a relatively low manganese content (0.30-0.60%) which contributes to relatively low hardenability in all applications and increased ductility with decreased hardness and strength in the core of carburized material and in uncarburized uses. It combines good hot and cold workability, good machinability and good weldability. Typical applications are carburized parts, bolts, trusses and cold-extruded parts.
