- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 Cold Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a low-carbon steel manufactured through a cold drawing process, which increases its strength and provides a smooth, scale-free surface. It conforms to ASTM A108 standards and offers a great balance of toughness, ductility, and strength. Its excellent machinability and weldability make it a versatile choice for parts requiring tight tolerances without extensive secondary processing.
As a medium-width bar, this 2-1/2" wide flat is perfectly suited for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and mounting plates where stability and a clean finish are required. Its substantial width provides reliable support for machinery and fabricated assemblies.
