1095 Round Bar: Material Profile
1095 is chosen for applications where maximum hardness and edge or wear performance outweigh weldability and ease of forming.
Because performance is sensitive to processing, include the starting condition, target hardness, surface quality, and intended heat treatment.
Purchase to the controlling ASTM, SAE, AMS, or customer specification. Section size, supply condition, mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, and heat/lot traceability can change the acceptable material and processing route.
Key Characteristics
- Very high hardness potential
- Excellent wear resistance
- High elastic strength
- Requires controlled heat treatment
Common Applications
- Flat and coil springs
- Wear components
- Cutting edges
- High-hardness tool parts
Specification Requirements
Identify the governing specification and revision, product form, section size, condition, mechanical properties, testing, and certification requirements. The purchase specification and material certification govern the order.
