1022 steel is a low-carbon steel primarily known for its exceptional formability, weldability, and good strength. This grade, with a carbon content slightly higher than 1020 grade, enhances its mechanical properties, making it suitable for moderately stressed parts. Common applications of 1022 steel include automotive parts and furniture. Its chemical makeup also allows for good surface hardening, making it a candidate for case-hardened parts.
