This 1/2" x 5" 1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar provides a smooth, scale-free finish and precise dimensional accuracy. Conforming to ASTM A108, it offers a balance of strength, ductility, and machinability, making it a reliable choice for manufacturing and fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel manufactured via cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while maintaining tight tolerances. This results in a material with a tensile strength of 63,800 PSI, superior machinability, and a clean surface ideal for painting or plating. Conforming to ASTM A108, it is easily welded, formed, and case-hardened for enhanced wear resistance.
The large 5-inch width of this flat bar makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring stability and a broad surface area. Common uses include heavy equipment base plates, die components, structural supports, and custom machinery frames where strength and flatness are critical for proper alignment and function.
