SAE 1008 Cold-Rolled Steel Coil
Procurement page for SAE 1008 cold-rolled steel coil. Specify the ASTM A1008/A1008M finished-product grade or type, condition, thickness, width, surface, coil geometry, testing and packing; SAE 1008 chemistry alone is not a complete order description.
03Grade-product
Specifications and dimensions
State ordered thickness, width, thickness/width tolerance, edge condition, coil inside diameter, maximum outside diameter and maximum coil mass.
State full-hard, annealed, temper-rolled or other ordered condition; do not use the SAE chemistry designation alone as the condition.
Standards and supply condition
SAE J403 chemical-composition designation for SAE carbon steels
ASTM A1008/A1008M cold-rolled steel sheet; the ordered edition and grade/type govern finished-product acceptance
Manufacturing and processing
Cold-reduced sheet is processed from suitable hot band through rolling, annealing and temper rolling or other finishing as specified by the ordered product standard.
Slitting, edge conditioning, leveling, oiling, protective wrapping and coil geometry are separately ordered processing and packaging controls.
Typical applications
Shallow-drawn covers and formed sheet components after drawing-quality and process qualification
Appliance and enclosure coil after confirmation of surface, annealed condition and forming requirements
Roll-formed or welded components only after representative process trials
Quality and acceptance controls
Match the coil number, chemistry designation, ordered ASTM A1008/A1008M grade or type, condition, dimensions and test results to the certificate.
Inspect thickness profile, width, edge, flatness, surface quality, rust preventive oil where ordered, coil winding, marking and moisture-protected export packing.
Agree mechanical tests, formability or drawability tests, surface class and sampling only through the ordered finished-product specification.
For forming-oriented orders, verify the ASTM A1008/A1008M drawing or formability designation, annealed/temper-rolled condition, surface class, oiling and any agreed representative forming test; SAE 1008 chemistry does not guarantee drawability.
Include in your RFQ
Exact designation and governing product-standard edition
Product form, dimensions, tolerances and quantity
Delivery condition, temper, coating or surface treatment
Service environment, fabrication route and applicable design code
Testing, inspection, certificate and traceability requirements
Packing, marking, destination and required delivery date
Selection limits
SAE 1008 and SAE 1010 are chemistry designations; they do not by themselves establish tensile properties, formability, surface class, tolerances or acceptance.
ASTM A1008/A1008M covers cold-rolled steel sheet in coils and cut lengths; confirm the ordered product-standard edition and applicable grade/type before purchase or substitution.
