- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel manufactured through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. This produces a smooth, scale-free surface ready for finishing. Conforming to ASTM A108, it provides a reliable balance of strength, ductility, and toughness, making it easily weldable and ideal for case-hardening applications.
As a medium-width bar, this 3" x 2" size is perfectly suited for applications requiring substantial strength and flatness. It is commonly used for structural bracing, machine ways, support brackets, wear strips, and jigs where dimensional stability is critical.

How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (A) and Thickness (B). The width is the larger of the two cross-sectional dimensions.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar, 3" wide by 2" thick x 144" length".
