AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel combines a relatively high carbon level with heat-treatment capability. The selected grade is used where strength, hardness, wear performance or hardenability are important.
AISI 1060 can be hardened and tempered to achieve higher hardness and strength.
The grade is used in selected spring and resilient-component applications after suitable heat treatment.
Its carbon content supports good wear resistance in appropriately treated components.
Quenching and tempering allow the balance of hardness and toughness to be tailored for service.
AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel is selected for applications where strength, hardness, wear resistance or controlled hardenability are important.
Used for selected coil, flat and formed spring components.
Suitable for selected knives, blades and cutting components requiring hardness.
Used for load-bearing pins, shafts and mechanical parts.
Selected for wear-resistant components and general machine parts.
Specify the temper or heat-treatment condition because strength and hardness vary significantly with processing.
AISI 1060 responds well to hardening and tempering and can be selected for resilient or wear-oriented parts.
For critical service, confirm the required hardness profile and certified properties for the exact product form.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel is 1.0601. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
