This 1/4" x 1/2" 1018 Cold Rolled Steel Flat Bar provides superior surface finish and tight dimensional accuracy for precision applications. Certified to ASTM A108, it offers good strength and excellent machinability, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability
1018 is a low-carbon steel grade produced through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength, hardness, and dimensional accuracy over hot rolled alternatives. This bar meets ASTM A108 specifications and provides a clean, smooth surface ideal for parts requiring minimal preparation before finishing. With a machinability rating of 70% and good weldability, it is a reliable material for general-purpose manufacturing.
As a small-profile flat bar, this 1/4" x 1/2" size is particularly well-suited for light-duty applications. It is commonly used for fabricating small brackets, mounting straps, precision shims, and components in jigs and fixtures where accuracy is critical and structural loads are moderate.
