1018 Steel Cold Rolled Round Bar 1" Dia. x Features

• 1018 has a wide variety of applications. It is used for parts requiring cold forming, such as crimping, swaging or bending.

• For severe bends, stress relieving may be necessary to prevent cracking. It is highly suitable for carburized parts, such as gears, ratchets, worms, pinions, pins, chain pins, dowels, machine parts, non-critical components of tool and die sets, tool holders, etc.

• It is used when good workability is required, on parts requiring threading, drilling, punching and machining. It is extensively used for mounting plates, spacers and fixtures.

• C1018 is suitable for all applications that do not require the greater strength of high carbon and alloy steels.

• A low carbon steel with a medium manganese content, 1018 has good case hardening properties and excellent machinability. Suitable for shafting and for other applications that do not require the greater strength of high carbon and alloy steels.

About 1018 Steel Cold Rolled Round Bar 1" Dia. X

1018 is a general purpose low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. It has varied applications including parts that require cold forming. Common uses include gears, pins, machine parts and other parts where good workability is required. 1018 cold finished steel is a general-purpose, low-carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. It is especially suited to cold forming and bending operations. 1018 is suitable for parts that require cold forming (such as crimping, swaging, or bending). For severe bends, however, stress relieving may be necessary to prevent cracking. A low carbon steel with a medium manganese content, 1018 has good case hardening properties and excellent machinability. Suitable for shafting and for other applications that do not require the greater strength of high carbon and alloy steels.1018 mild/low carbon steel has excellent weldability and produces a uniform and harder case and it is considered as the best steel for carburized parts. AISI 1018 steel offers a good balance of toughness, strength and ductility. Provided with higher mechanical properties,1018 cold rolled carbon steel also includes improved machining characteristics and Brinell hardness. Specific manufacturing controls are used for c1018 steel surface preparation, chemical composition, rolling and heating processes. All these processes develop a supreme quality product that are suited to fabrication processes such as welding, forging, drilling, machining, cold drawing and heat treating.
