| AISI / SAE STEEL NUMBERING SYSTEM | ||
|
The first two numbers indicate the alloy according the the
chart below.
|
||
| The last two numbers indicate the amount of carbon in the alloy, where the digits “10”, for example, represent 0.10% carbon. | ||
| Example AISI/SAE 1020 | ||
|
the first two digits indicate this is plain carbon steel.
|
||
| the last two digits indicates that the steel contains approximately 0.20% carbon. | ||
| Example AISI/SAE 4340 | ||
|
the first two digits indicate this is a
Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy steel
|
||
| the last two digits indicate that the steel contains approximately 0.4% carbon | ||
