Introduction

Hot rolled AISI 1022 steel is a low hardenability carbon steel with
low tensile strength ranging between 360-560 MPa. AISI 1022 low
carbon steel has Brinell hardness ranging between 100 – 170 and it
is mostly supplied in the black hot rolled condition. Compared to
AISI 1020 steel, AISI 1022 steel has a higher content of manganese
and carbon.

AISI 1022 steel is usually used in the rolled condition. AISI 1022 can
be carburized achieving case hardness more than Rc65 with smaller
sections. The case hardness reduces with an increase in section size.
Hot rolled AISI 1022 low carbon steel has excellent machinability
and ductility with reasonable strength. x

machinability is a bit lower than the machinability of M1020 bright
steel. The softness of the hot rolled structure causes it to wrap
around the cutting tool and resulting in a less clean cut.

Weldability

AISI 1022 steel can be readily welded by all standard welding


methods. Pre-heating and post-heating processes are
recommended for heavy sections of AISI 1022 steel.

Heat Treatment

Suitable heat treatment for AISI 1022 low carbon steel consists of
the following processes:

Hot Working
Forging
Hardening
Tempering
Ageing
Annealing

Cold Working

Conventional methods are used in the cold working process for AISI
1022 steel. An anneal may be needed after severe cold working.

Hot Working

AISI 1022 steel requires 482.2°C -93.3 °C (900°F to 200°F) for the hot
working process.

Forging

AISI 1022 steel is forged at 1288 °C-982°C (2350°F to 1800°F). The


steel is heated to a maximum of 1100°C to 1200°C, held till the
temperature is uniform throughout the section and forging is
commenced. Forging below 900°C is not recommended. Finished
forgings may be air cooled.

Hardening

AISI 1022 steel is hardened by quenching, tempering and heat x


treatment.

This is not applicable for AISI 1022 steel.

Annealing

A stress relief anneal on AISI 1022 steel is performed at 538 °C


(1000°F) and a full anneal is performed at 927 °C (1700°F) with slow
furnace cooling.

Applications of AISI 1022 Steel

The applications of AISI 1022 steel include:

It is used by industry sectors for carburized parts that are lightly


stressed and for welding applications.
It is used for structural applications with moderate strength such as
bolts and cold formed fasteners.
Recessed-head screws, low-strength fasteners, motor spindles and
die pins utilize AISI 1022 steel.
AISI 1022 steel is used a lot in case hardened conditions.
Some typical applications of AISI 1022 steel include welded
structures and general engineering parts and components.
Some carburized applications of AISI 1022 steel include light duty
gears, camshafts, worm gears, spindles, ratchets and gudgon pins.
