1018 is a low-carbon steel manufactured through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. Conforming to ASTM A108, this material has excellent weldability and machinability, rated at 70% of 1212 steel. Its smooth, scale-free surface is ready for finishing processes like painting or plating with minimal preparation, making it a versatile choice for general fabrication.
As a small profile bar with a 1/2" width, this size is particularly well-suited for applications requiring precision and a clean aesthetic. It is commonly used to produce small frame stock, mounting brackets, shims, and decorative straps where dimensional consistency is critical for fit and function.
