This 5/16" 1018 Cold Rolled Hexagon Bar offers superior dimensional accuracy and a smooth, scale-free surface. Conforming to ASTM A108, it provides 63,800 PSI tensile strength and excellent machinability, making it ideal for fasteners, shafts, and precision components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
1018 Cold Rolled Hexagon Bar is produced through cold drawing, a process that improves its strength, tolerance, and surface finish over hot rolled steel. Compliant with ASTM A108, this low-carbon steel provides a balance of toughness, strength, and ductility. Its key characteristics include excellent machinability and good weldability, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication and manufacturing.
As a small-sized hex bar, this 5/16" dimension is perfectly suited for producing custom fastener stock, small fittings, precision hardware, and standoffs. The hexagonal shape provides a secure gripping surface for tools, making it a primary choice for nuts, bolts, and valve components.
