- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A1008 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Superior Surface Finish & Formability
Cold Rolled Steel Sheet is created by further processing hot rolled steel, resulting in a material with increased hardness, tighter thickness tolerance, and a clean, scale-free surface. This product, conforming to ASTM A1008, exhibits good weldability and excellent formability, allowing for bending and drawing without cracking. Its smooth surface provides a superior substrate for paint, powder coating, and other finishes after the protective oil is removed.
As a small-thickness material, this 26 gauge sheet is perfectly suited for producing lightweight formed brackets, electronic enclosures, and decorative panels. It is also commonly used in HVAC for ductwork and fittings, or as precision shims in manufacturing and assembly where consistent, thin-gauge material is required.
