1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar - 1/2" x 2" x 144"
This 1/2" x 2" 1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar provides a superior surface finish and tight dimensional tolerances compared to hot rolled steel. Conforming to ASTM A108, its 63,800 PSI tensile strength is ideal for precision fabrication and machinery components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel produced through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while maintaining excellent ductility. This process results in a smooth, scale-free surface and tight dimensional accuracy, conforming to ASTM A108. Its balanced properties make it easily machinable and weldable, and it is an excellent choice for parts that require case hardening.
As a medium-width flat bar, this 2" wide size is frequently used for structural bracing, machine ways, base plates, and wear strips. Its dimensional stability and smooth finish make it a reliable choice for manufacturing fixtures, mounting brackets, and other fabricated parts requiring precision.
