SAE 1016, CEN C16, ISO C16

Abstract 1016, C16E, and C16R are wrought low-carbon (carbon = 0.12–0.18%) non-alloy steels that are used in the as-rolled, annealed, normalized, or cold worked condition. They are widely used for lightly and moderately stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and also for applications where a combination of low-to-medium strength, excellent cold formability, and excellent weldability are required. These steels may also be used in the case hardened, nitrided, or nitrocarburized condition. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on low and high temperature performance as well as forming and heat treating. Filing Code: CS-269. Producer or source: Heat Treater's Guide Data Sheet.
