1018 Cold Rolled Steel Hex Bar - 3/16" x 144"
This 3/16" 1018 cold rolled hex bar provides superior dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface finish. Conforming to ASTM A108, it delivers 63,800 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for high-tolerance machined components like fasteners and hardware. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Good Machinability (70%)
1018 is a low-carbon steel produced through cold drawing, a process that improves strength, tolerance, and finish over hot rolled alternatives. This bar meets ASTM A108 standards and offers a balance of toughness, strength, and ductility. Its low carbon content makes it easily weldable using standard methods and suitable for case hardening to increase surface wear resistance.
As a small-diameter hex bar, this 3/16" size is perfectly suited for producing fastener stock like custom nuts and bolts, small fittings for hydraulic or pneumatic systems, and other precision hardware where a hexagonal shape is needed for wrenching or positive grip.
