SAE 1015, CEN C15, ISO C15

Abstract

1015, C15E, and C15R are wrought low-carbon (carbon equals 0.12 to 0.18 percent) non-alloy steels that are used in the as rolled, annealed, normalized, or cold worked condition. They are widely used for lightly and moderately stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and also for applications where a combination of low-to-medium strength, excellent cold formability, and excellent weldability are required. These steels may also be used in the case hardened, nitrided, or nitrocarburized condition. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming and heat treating.
