Cold Rolled Round 1018 - 2 Inches
This 2-inch diameter 1018 Cold Rolled Round Bar provides excellent machinability and tight dimensional tolerances due to its cold drawing process. Conforming to ASTM A108, it has a tensile strength of 63,800 PSI and a smooth finish ideal for precision shafts and axles. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Finish
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 increases its tensile and yield strength. Its composition offers a great balance of toughness and ductility, making it a versatile material for fabrication and machining where precision is a key requirement and conforms to ASTM A108.
The substantial 2-inch diameter makes this bar an excellent choice for manufacturing durable machinery shafts, automotive axles, hydraulic piston rods, and other medium-duty machined components that require strength, straightness, and a smooth surface for bearings or seals.
