This 2-1/4" 1018 Cold Rolled Round Bar provides excellent machinability and tight dimensional tolerances per ASTM A108. Its cold-drawn process increases yield strength to 53,700 PSI, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications like shafts, axles, and large machined parts. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 cold rolled round is a low-carbon steel produced through cold drawing, resulting in a smooth, scale-free surface and superior dimensional accuracy compared to hot rolled products. This process strain-hardens the steel, increasing its tensile and yield strength to 63,800 PSI and 53,700 PSI respectively. Its composition provides a balance of toughness and ductility, making it a versatile material for general-purpose machining.
As a large-diameter 2-1/4" bar, this material is particularly suited for fabricating heavy-duty shafts, industrial rollers, forging stock for custom parts, and other substantial components where strength, straightness, and a superior surface finish are critical design requirements.
