Introduction
Carbon steels contain carbon as the primary alloying element. Small quantities of molybdenum, chromium, nickel, aluminium, and copper are also present in these steels. They contain 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. They are designated by AISI four-digit numbers.
The following datasheet gives an overview of AISI 1141 carbon steel.
