- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 cold rolled round is a low-carbon steel produced through a cold drawing process, resulting in a smooth, scale-free surface and superior dimensional accuracy. This process strain-hardens the steel, increasing its tensile strength to 63,800 PSI. Conforming to ASTM A108, its composition provides a reliable balance of strength, ductility, and excellent machinability, making it a highly versatile material for general-purpose fabrication.
As a medium-sized 9/16" diameter bar, this product is perfectly suited for manufacturing shafts, axles, bushings, and spacers. Its tight tolerances and straightness are critical for rotating parts in machinery, while its strength is ample for pivot pins and support rods in industrial equipment.
