Applications
A popular low carbon bright mild steel 080A15 gives reasonable strength and is commonly used for general engineering applications such as shafts, spindles, gears, bolts, spacers, brackets, fixtures and jigs.
Analysis
| Carbon | 0.13-0.18% | Phosphorous | 0.05% max |
| Manganese | 0.70-0.90% | Sulphur | 0.05% max |
| Silicon | 0.10-0.40% |
Normalising
080A15 is commonly supplied bright drawn, if the steel requires normalising heat to 880-910°C then furnace cool.
Stress Relieving
If stress relieving is required heat to a temperature of 650°C and allow to cool in air.
Heat Treatment
080A15 is suitable for case hardening, Components when case hardened have a core strength range of 430-490N/mm² with a hard wear resistant surface case. Heat treatment temperatures, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of 080A15 bright mild steel.
