FAQs
1018 is a general-purpose, low carbon steel used in a variety of carburized parts. It’s easily formed, machined, fabricated, and welded, with good surface hardening qualities and higher mechanical properties than many low carbon grades, and it’s especially suited to cold forming and bending operations. Cromdane Steel supplies 1018 carbon steel bar machined to customer specifications with short lead times.
Cold rolled 1018 is processed at room temperature, giving it a smoother surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and higher yield strength than hot rolled bar. Hot rolled 1018 is processed at high temperature, leaving a rougher surface and wider tolerances but is generally more economical for applications where a machined finish isn’t required. Cromdane Steel stocks 1018 in cold rolled condition, ready for immediate saw cut.
Cromdane Steel stocks 1018 carbon steel round bar from 10" to 24" OD, available for immediate saw cut. Additional sizes arrive on a regular basis — call 713-896-8295 if you don’t see the size you need.
