Cold Rolled All Thread
Cold Rolled All Thread
ASTM A108 UNS G10180 is a low-carbon steel with higher manganese content than certain other low-carbon steels. Being richer in manganese, 1018 is a better steel for carburized parts, since it produces a harder and more uniform case. It also has higher mechanical properties and better machining characteristics.
- 1018 (UNS G10180)
- Low-carbon steel
- Cold-rolled, smooth finish
- Excellent machinability
Overview
Cold Rolled All Thread rod is a precision-engineered, low-carbon steel product manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and construction applications. Produced from ASTM A108 UNS G10180 steel, this all thread rod offers a superior combination of strength, durability, and consistent performance.
The cold rolling process involves drawing cleaned, oversize hot-rolled bars through a die at room temperature. This cold working operation significantly enhances the material's mechanical properties, resulting in a product with higher tensile and yield strengths, improved surface finish, and tighter dimensional tolerances compared to standard hot-rolled alternatives. The specific chemistry of 1018 steel, with its higher manganese content, provides excellent case-hardening characteristics, making it ideal for applications requiring a hard, wear-resistant surface over a tough, ductile core.
Its enhanced machinability also allows for easier threading, cutting, and fabrication. This product is essential for B2B professionals in manufacturing, construction, and engineering who require reliable, high-strength threaded components for critical assemblies. Whether used for anchoring systems, structural supports, or machinery assembly, understanding the capabilities of this material ensures optimal project outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and long-term structural integrity.

How to Measure
To specify Cold Rolled All Thread, provide the following information: 1) Nominal Diameter: Measure the major diameter of the thread (e.g., 1/2"), 2) Threads Per Inch (TPI): Specify thread series (e.g., 1/2"-13 UNC), 3) Length: Specify overall length in feet or inches, 4) Quantity: Number of pieces or total linear feet required, 5) Finish: Specify if a protective coating is needed. Tolerance Note: Cold rolled all thread is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances. Always refer to the applicable ASTM standard for precise tolerance tables.
