1018 Cold Rolled Round Bar - 1/2" x 144"
This 1/2" diameter 1018 Cold Rolled Round Bar meets ASTM A108 standards, providing superior dimensional accuracy and a smooth finish. With 63,800 PSI tensile strength and excellent machinability, it is a versatile choice for manufacturing precision shafts, pins, and dowels. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 cold rolled round bar is a low-carbon steel produced through cold drawing, which increases its strength and provides a clean, scale-free surface. This process ensures tight dimensional tolerances and straightness, conforming to ASTM A108. With a balance of toughness, ductility, and strength, it machines well and is suitable for carburizing to create a case-hardened surface.
The 1/2" diameter falls into a medium size class, making it an ideal choice for general-purpose shafts, axles, motor mounts, spacers, and structural pins. Its combination of strength and machinability is well-suited for components in industrial machinery, automotive, and custom fabrication projects.
