1020 (UNS G10200) is a plain carbon steel with moderate strength and limited hardenability.
The alloy applications in general engineering and some motorsports where required performance requirements are relatively low and strength to weight ratios less important. The material has a good combination of strength and ductility and can be hardened or carburised. 1020 is commonly used in the case hardened condition
1020 (UNS G10200) alloy tubes offer a good combination of strength and ductility. The alloy has good machinability, is easily welded and is ideal for simple structural applications. The material offers limited hardenability.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
