- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel processed through cold drawing, which increases its hardness and strength while creating a smooth, scale-free surface and tight dimensional tolerances. This material offers a good balance of strength, ductility, and toughness, conforming to ASTM A108 standards. Its excellent machinability and good weldability make it a versatile choice for a wide range of manufacturing applications.
As a small-sized bar, this 5/16" square is perfectly suited for producing precision parts such as small shafts, dowel pins, mounting blocks, and custom fasteners. Its clean finish is also beneficial for decorative braces and frames where aesthetics are important and minimal surface prep is desired.
