Description

1035 is a mild carbon steel known for its good strength, ductility, and machinability. It is commonly used in various industrial applications that require moderate strength and toughness.

Applications

1035 is widely used in machinery parts, shafts, gears, bolts, studs, and other components where moderate strength and good machinability are required. It is also used in automotive parts, construction equipment, and general engineering applications.

Blacksmith Applications

1035 is commonly used in blacksmithing to create tools such as tongs, punches, chisels, and other hand tools. Its good ductility and machinability make it suitable for forging operations.

1035 Forging Temperature

Forging should be done between 1850°F - 2200°F (1010°C to 1204°C), followed by slow cooling in a furnace or insulating material.

1035 Heat Treatment

1035 Annealing Temperature

Annealing is typically performed at 1475°F (802°C) for a sufficient amount of time, followed by slow cooling in the furnace to relieve internal stresses.

1035 Normalizing Temperature

Normalizing can be carried out at 1630°F to 1700°F (888°C to 927°C) for a proper soak time, followed by air cooling.

1035 Hardening Temperature

Hardening is achieved by heating the steel to 1500°F to 1600°F (816°C to 871°C) and then quenching in water, oil, or brine.

1035 Tempering Temperature

Tempering should be performed between 350°F to 700°F (177°C to 371°C) to achieve the desired hardness and toughness.

Machinability

1035 has a machinability rating of 80, indicating excellent machinability with appropriate cutting tools and techniques.

Weldability

1035 has good weldability. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be required depending on the thickness of the material and desired properties.
