Cold Roll Round Bar 1018 Cold Finish offers a good blend of strength, some ductility, ease of welding and machining. 1018, the most popular of the cold-rolled steels, is chemically similar to A36 Hot-Rolled steel, but the finishing process offers superior surface finish and mechanical properties. It is typically used in pins, rods, shafts, spindles, and sprockets.

Yes, this carbon steel round bar is available for custom cutting at the warehouse, with lengths ranging up to 240 inches. You can order it in various cut lengths to suit your project needs.

Absolutely. The 1018 cold finish carbon steel offers a good balance of strength, ductility, and excellent machinability (rated 78), making it ideal for machining, welding, and use in pins, rods, shafts, spindles, and sprockets.

This product complies with RoHS (Yes 6C) standards but does not meet REACH compliance. It also comes with an available Material Test Report (MTR) for quality assurance.

The cold finish process improves the surface finish and mechanical properties compared to hot-rolled steel, providing enhanced strength with a yield tensile strength of 54 ksi and ultimate tensile strength of 64 ksi.

The shipping weight varies by length, starting at approximately 0.52 lb for a 12-inch piece. The product is in stock and available for immediate shipment in multiple length options.
