SAE J403:2014 1008: Nonresulfurized carbon steel SAE 1008 (UNS G10080) to SAE J403 JUN2014, a chemistry-only grade for semifinished products for forging, hot rolled and cold finished bars, wire rods, plates, strip, sheets, welded tubing and seamless tubing. Carbon up to 0.10% and manganese 0.30-0.50%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.

Manganese by product form (notes 6 and 7): 0.30-0.50% for semifinished products for forging, bars, wire rods and seamless tubing; 0.50% maximum for structural shapes, plates, strip, sheets and welded tubing. Ultra low carbon, interstitial free stabilized and nonstabilized steel may be supplied for this grade. Silicon, when required, is commonly specified as 0.10% max or a range such as 0.15 to 0.35%. Lead (0.15 to 0.35%, letter L) and boron (0.0005 to 0.003%, letter B) versions of the standard grades are identified by a letter between the second and third digits. Residual elements are agreed between purchaser and supplier; unless otherwise specified Option B applies. Option A applies to flat rolled products up to 1060.
