- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
1018 Cold Rolled Steel is a low-carbon grade produced through cold drawing, which improves its strength, hardness, and surface finish compared to hot rolled steel. This process ensures tight dimensional accuracy. It offers a great balance of strength, ductility, and toughness, and is easily welded and machined, conforming to ASTM A108 standards for cold-finished carbon steel bars.
As a medium-width flat bar, this 3" x 1/2" size is highly versatile. It's frequently used for structural bracing, machine ways, base plates for equipment, wear strips, and fabrication of durable brackets and fixtures where dimensional stability and a clean finish are required.
