1018 Cold Drawn Steel Bar
Cold drawn 1018 steel bar is a low carbon steel grade with good weldability and formability for a variety of applications. Cold drawn 1018 steel is also available from a wide variety of mill sources. However, due to its low alloy content, 1018 cold drawn finished steel bars have limits on mechanical properties. Eaton Steel Bar Company stocks several diameters of this grade to meet your demands quickly. All cold finished material is manufactured to meet ASTM A108 requirements. Cold drawn/finished bars provide greater dimensional control, improved straightness, and better surface condition to aid in machining. We commonly supply 1018 cold drawn steel bar to various industries like automotive, agriculture, ATV, construction, and motorcycle.
