1010, C10E, and C10R are wrought low-carbon non-alloy steels that are used in the as rolled, annealed, normalized, or cold worked condition. These steels are widely used for lightly stressed parts that require excellent cold formability and excellent weldability. They are less expensive than 1008 / C8C and can be used when the requirements for cold forming are less exacting. C10, C10E, and C10R may also be used in the carburized or carbonitrided, and subsequently quench hardened and tempered condition for parts requiring a hard, wear-resistant surface, but with little need for increased mechanical properties in the core.
