Cold Finished 1330 Carbon Steel

Cold finished SAE-AISI 1330 is SAE-AISI 1330 steel in the cold worked (strain hardened) condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare cold finished SAE-AISI 1330 to: wrought resulfurized carbon steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
