Carbon Steel Cold Finished 1018 Flat Bar

1018 carbon steel flat bar is known for its cost-effective versatility, strength, machinability, and weldability. This low-carbon steel offers superior dimensional accuracy and a smoother finish compared to hot-rolled alternatives. This is done by drawing a hot rolled bar through a die at room temperature, therefore removing the scale and providing a smooth, oil-like finish. 1018 cold finished flat bar is commonly used in industrial applications requiring moderate strength and toughness.
