1060 Steel | C60 |1.0601 | AISI 1060| S60C

1060 steel is an unalloyed medium carbon engineering steel which has 0.57%-0.65% Carbon as per EN10083 standard.It has characteristics similar to that of 1055 carbon steel which has high hardness and high strength after hardening.1060 steel is difficult to weld,and machinability is poor due to high carbon content.This steel is generally supplied in an untreated or normalised condition.
