Description

SAE 1008 Cold Rolled Steel Sheet is a highly versatile, low-carbon steel engineered for applications where surface quality and precise thickness are critical. Unlike hot-rolled alternatives, this steel undergoes further processing at room temperature, which enhances its physical properties and provides a smooth, polished aesthetic.

At Metal Mart, we source our SAE 1008 sheets from globally recognized mills to ensure consistent chemistry and mechanical performance. This grade is particularly favored for its “drawability,” allowing it to be bent or shaped into complex forms without cracking or losing structural integrity.

Key Features:

• Superior Surface Finish: Features a smooth, uniform, and oily finish that serves as an excellent base for painting, plating, or powder coating.

• Tight Dimensional Tolerances: The cold rolling process ensures consistent thickness throughout the sheet, making it ideal for high-precision CNC machining and automated production lines.

• Enhanced Workability: With its low carbon content, SAE 1008 provides excellent weldability and is optimized for cold forming and bending.

• Increased Strength: The strain-hardening process during cold rolling gives these sheets a higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard hot-rolled steel.

Technical Specifications:

• Material Grade: SAE 1008 (Low Carbon Steel)

• Standard: ASTM A1008 / JIS G3141

• Sourcing: Available from certified mills in South Korea, Japan, and India.

• Certification: Fully backed by Mill Test Certificates (MTC) ensuring international quality compliance.

Common Applications:

• Automotive: Body panels, brackets, and internal structural components.

• Appliances: External casings for refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens.

• Furniture: High-quality metal cabinetry, shelving units, and office partitions.

• General Manufacturing: Lighting fixtures, electrical enclosures, and stamped metal parts.

Metal Mart provides comprehensive support for SAE 1008 procurement, including Letter of Credit (LC) facilitation and bulk procurement coordination, ensuring a seamless supply chain for your industrial needs.
