AISI 1095

AISI 1095

Carbon is the main alloying element present in carbon steels. They also contain 0.4% of silicon and 1.2% of manganese. Elements such as nickel, copper, aluminium, and molybdenum are present in small traces. AISI 1095 carbon steel is brittle, and has high hardness and strength.
