Model Number: CMA102 Brand Name: DIN Ck10 Key Specifications/Special Features: Description:CK10 is a plain carbon steel with a nominal 0.10% carbon content, it is a relatively low strength steel but it may be quenched and tempered for increased strengthApplications:Low carbon steels, such as CK10, are used for applications such as cold headed fasteners and boltsPhysical properties (average values) at ambient temperatureModulus of elasticity [10³x N/mm²]: 210
Density [g/cm³]: 7.85
Soft annealing:
Heat to 800-840°C, cool slowly
Hardening:
This steel is generally used in the annealed or case hardened condition, it may be heat treated, quenched and tempered but the cost for so doing is generally not worth the results
Tempering:
Tempering temperature: 320-530°C
Forging:
Hot forming temperature: 1050-850°C
Machine ability:
Machine ability of CK10 steel is fairly good, especially in the cold drawn or cold worked condition, based upon carbon steel AISI 1112 as a reference that is considered 100% machinable (easily machined) the CK10 steel has a rating of 55%
Corrosion resistance:
This is a plain carbon steel and has no corrosion resistance, it will rust unless protected
Welding:
CK10 steel may be welded by all of the standard welding techniques
Cold working:
CK10 is easily cold worked by traditional means, following severe cold working a stress relief, or full, anneal should be performed
