SAE 1020 as a forging ingot

1020 ingots suit forgings where weldability and ductility matter more than strength.

Kesari Alloys casts SAE 1020 in square, fluted and round shapes from M1.5 to M22, with vacuum degassing, ladle refining and bottom pouring. See the ingot size chart for dimensions and weights.

Heat treatment: Used as-forged or normalised. Not through-hardenable in normal sections.
