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

General formed sheet components where the ordered product specification supports the fabrication requirement
Appliance, enclosure and light fabrication coil after confirmation of surface, condition and forming requirements
Welded tube or roll-formed components only after the material and process are qualified

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.

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.
