- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel known for its excellent case-hardening properties, good weldability, and superior surface finish compared to hot rolled steel. This bar is produced through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. Conforming to ASTM A108, it provides a reliable material for components requiring precision without extensive secondary processing.
As a medium-sized flat bar, this 2" x 3/16" stock is ideal for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates. Its dimensional stability and smooth surface make it suitable for fixtures, support arms, and components where a clean aesthetic or tight fit is required.
