ASTM A1008 describes a type of carbon steel sheet with a chemical composition that includes carbon (C) up to 0.35%, phosphorus (P) up to 0.040%, and sulfur (S) up to 0.040%.
A10008 steel belongs to the category of carbon steel castings, which are classified into low carbon steel (containing carbon up to 0.20%), medium carbon steel (containing carbon between 0.20% and 0.50%), and high carbon steel (containing carbon above 0.50%) based on carbon content.
With a carbon content of 0.35% or less, A1008 steel falls into the low to medium carbon steel category, making it the most common material among carbon steel castings.
The significant difference between cast steel and cast iron lies in carbon content, with cast steel having less than approximately 2.14% carbon, while cast iron contains 2.14% or more carbon.
Despite being more challenging to cast due to higher melting temperatures and greater volume contraction during solidification compared to cast iron, cast steel offers high corrosion resistance, wear resistance, toughness, and impact resistance. It is employed in products where strength is critical, a requirement that cast iron may not meet.
A1008 steel finds applications in various components such as turbine blades for power generators, rolls for rolling mills, and couplers for vehicles.
