AISI 5060
Alloy steels comprise different kinds of steels which exceed the composition limits of Mn, C, Mo, Si, Ni, Va, and B set for carbon steels. They respond more quickly to mechanical and heat treatments than carbon steels. They are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. The first two digits represent the main alloying elements, and the last two digits represent the carbon content present in the alloy in hundredth of a percent
| Element | Content(%) |
|---|---|
| Iron, Fe | 97.385 - 98.14 |
| Manganese, Mn | 0.750 - 1.00 |
| Carbon, C | 0.560 - 0.640 |
| Chromium, Cr | 0.400 - 0.600 |
| Silicon, Si | 0.150 - 0.300 |
| Sulfur, S | ≤ 0.0400 |
| Phosphorous, P | ≤ 0.0350 |
