1018 Carbon Steel
  • 1018 Carbon Steel

Description

1018 is a low-carbon steel available in the largest selection of sizes, usually used as a general purpose steel since it is readily formed, welded, or forged for machinability with good bending and forming qualities.

Application

  • Used for crimping, bending, and swaging processes

  • Used for mounting plates, fixtures, and spacers

  • Used for cracking prevention in severe bends

  • Used for machining, drilling, punching, and threading processes

  • Used for providing softcore and high surface hardness to parts such as pins, special bolts, anchor pins, worms, chain pins, ratchets, tie rods, oil tool slips, liners, studs, machinery, etc.

  • Used for carburized parts like gears, dowels, worms, pins, non-critical components of tool and machinery parts, dowels, die sets, pinions, chain pins, and tool holders

  • Used for applications where high strength of high carbon and alloy steels is not necessary
