- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a versatile, low-carbon steel produced through a cold drawing process that increases its strength and hardness while improving dimensional tolerance and surface finish. Compliant with ASTM A108, it provides a reliable balance of strength, ductility, and toughness. This grade is readily machinable and weldable, and it responds well to case hardening for applications requiring enhanced surface wear resistance.
As a small-diameter rod, this 1/16" bar is perfectly suited for manufacturing precision components such as dowel pins, small shafts for models or electronics, custom fastener blanks for screw machines, and locating pins in jigs and fixtures where accuracy is critical.
