AISI 1080 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 1080 can achieve substantial hardness through conventional hardening treatments.
The grade is widely suited to selected spring and resilient components.
Heat-treated material offers useful resistance to wear and deformation.
The hardness achievable after treatment can support cutting and edge-retaining applications.
AISI 1080 High Carbon Steel is selected for applications where strength, hardness, wear resistance or controlled hardenability are important.
Used for selected spring components and resilient strips.
Selected for knives and cutting tools where hardness is important.
Used for selected wear-resistant machine components.
Suitable for selected high-carbon wire and strip products.
Specify the desired hardness, toughness and temper condition before manufacture.
AISI 1080 is suited to heat-treatment routes designed around the service hardness requirement.
For critical components, verify actual properties with the applicable specification and test certificate.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 1080 High Carbon Steel in the cross-reference sources checked for this update, so this page does not assign a number. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the applicable product standard and supplier certificate before substitution.
