1.0 Material: AISI 1018, AISI 1020 General Purpose Plain Carbon Steel castings.

2.0 Characteristics: AISI 1018 and AISI 1020 offer good cold forming properties, machinabiltiy and weldability.

3.0 Scope: This specification covers general purpose plain carbon steel castings having chemical analysis similar to
wrought grades AISI 1018 and AISI 1020. The basis of this specification is ASTM A915/A915M Standard
Specification for Steel Castings, Carbon, and Alloy, Chemical Requirements Similar to Standard Wrought Grades

4.0 Specification Numbers: The following table gives a cross reference of specification numbers which describe
equivalent materials.

AISI Number UNS Number Excel Number

1018 G10180 SC 1018
1020 G10200 SC 1020

5.0 Chemical Composition: A chemical analysis (heat analysis) from each heat of shall be made by the
manufacturer. The analysis shall be made from a test sample preferably taken during pouring. The castings shall
conform to the chemical composition listed in the table below.

AISI 1018
Fe C Mn Ni Cr Mo P S Si

Max. Balance 0.20 0.90 - - - 0.040 0.050 0.30
Min. - 0.15 0.60 - - - - - 0.60


AISI 1020
Fe C Mn Ni Cr Mo P S Si

Max. Balance 0.23 0.80 - - - 0.040 0.050 0.60
Min. - 0.18 0.40 - - - - - 0.30


6.0 Heat Treat Requirements: Unless mechanical properties, hardness or heat treat requirements are otherwise
specified on the purchase order or drawing, the casting shall be supplied in the normalized or annealed condition.

7.0 Mechanical Properties: When specified on the purchase order or blue print, tensile properties shall be
determined from material representative heat from which the casting was poured in accordance with ASTM A781.
Testing shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM A370. The specimen shall be heat treated in production
furnaces to the same procedure as the casting it represents. The results shall conform to purchase order and/or
blue print requirements.

Normalized 120 - 174 60,000 min 30,000 min 24 min

7.2 Brinell Hardness: If Brinell hardness is specified the hardness test shall be taken using a Brinell King Tester
employing a 3000 kilogram(kg) load with a 10 millimeter(mm) ball. The hardness test shall be performed on a
casting surface from which sand, scale, or other foreign matter has been removed. It shall be assured that the
hardness tests are performed on surfaces which have had all the decarburized metal removed to ensure accurate
assessment of casting hardness.

8.0 Surface Integrity and Roughness: The surface of the casting shall be examined visually and shall be free of
adhering sand, scale, cracks, porosity, blowholes, shrinkage defects, and hot tears. Unacceptable surface
discontinuities shall be removed and their removal verified by visual examination. Unacceptable visual surface
discontinuities are shown in, but not limited to, Visual Method MSS-SP-55.

9.0 Quality/Dimensions: All castings shall be made in a workmanlike manner and shall conform to the dimensions
on the drawings.

10.0 Additional Inspections: When specified by purchase order or drawing, additional inspections (mag particle,
Xray, ultrasonic, dye penatrant, ect) may be required. Additional inspections shall be in accordance with ASTM
A781/A781M and its supplemental requirements.

11.0 Weld Repair: Repair of major defects shall not be made until an approval for the repair has been granted in
accordance with the information listed in the Request to Repair section of this standard.

11.1 Weld repairs shall be inspected to the same quality standards used to inspect the castings. If NDT is specified on
the castings, the same standards shall be used to inspect the weld area.

11.2 Weld repairs are considered major when the cavity prepared for welding exceeds 20% of the wall thickness or 1
inch[25mm], whichever is smaller or the extent of the weld exceeds 10 in
2
[65 cm
2
]. Castings containing a major
weld repair shall receive a post weld heat treatment consisting of a thermal stress relief or complete reheat
treatment. The post weld heat treatment shall be in accordance with the qualified and documented weld procedure
used.

11.3 Any filler metal used in weld repair shall produce a weldment with chemistry similar to the chemistry of the casting.

11.4 Welders shall be qualified in accordance with ASTM A488/A488M.


11.5 Request to Repair:
