- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel processed through cold drawing to achieve superior strength, a smooth surface, and precise dimensional tolerances compared to hot rolled steel. This process hardens the material, resulting in the consistent mechanical properties defined by ASTM A108. Its balanced composition provides good toughness, weldability, and exceptional machinability, making it a versatile material for general-purpose fabrication.
As a small-profile bar, this 1/4" square size is perfectly suited for producing high-tolerance parts such as pins, small shafts, dowels, mounting blocks, and custom fasteners. Its clean finish is ready for machining, reducing prep time and waste in production environments where accuracy and efficiency are critical.
