Cold Finished Hexagon Bar C-1018

C-1018 – A low carbon steel, having higher manganese content than certain other low-carbon steels, such as 1020. Being richer in manganese, 1018 is a better steel for carburized parts, since it produces a harder and more uniform case. It also has higher mechanical properties and better machining characteristics. The hot rolled bars used in the manufacture of this product are of special quality.

ASTM-A-108

Applications: Used for parts requiring cold forming, such as crimping, swaging or bending. Also used on carburized parts requiring soft core and high surface hardness such as king pins, gears, dogs, etc.
