Steel U10
Designation
Description
Steel U10 is used: for the manufacture of needle wire; tools, working in conditions without heating of cutting edge; the tool for tree processing (manual transverse and carpentry saws, carpentry saws machinery, twist drills); parts dies of cold forming (exhaust, heading, trimming and blanking) of small size and without sharp transitions in cross section; calibers simple form and low accuracy classes; rollers, files, metal scrapers; cold-rolled heat-treated ribbon with a thickness of from 2.5 to 0.02 mm designed for making flat and wire springs and spring-loaded parts of complex configuration (valves, styli, reeds, slats dolnych knives, small constructional details, including hours, etc. (tape is produced according to GOST 2283, GOST 21996 and a number of special technical conditions).
Standards
Chemical composition
According to GOST 1435-99, the mass fraction of chromium, nickel and copper is indicated for 1 group of metal products. The mass fraction of sulfur in steel obtained by the electroslag remelting method should not exceed 0.013%. In the metal products of the third group, the mass fraction of Cr ≤ 0.20-0.40%, Ni ≤ 0.25%, Cu ≤0.25%. In metal products of the 1 st and 3 rd groups, made of steel obtained by scrap-process, the mass fractions of nickel, copper and chromium are increased by 0.05% of each element as compared to those in the table. In a metal designed for the manufacture of cold-rolled strip, an increase in the mass fraction of nickel, copper and chromium is not allowed.
