Cold Rolled Steel Flat Bar

1018 cold rolled steel flat bars or flat stock are an excellent candidate for most processing techniques.

Cold rolled steel flat bar.

A low carbon steel with a medium manganese content 1018 has good case hardening properties and excellent machinability. It has a good combination of all of the typical traits of steel strength some ductility and comparative ease of machining. Suitable for shafting and for other applications that do not require the greater strength of high carbon and alloy steels. Typically cold finished metal is used in parts that require crimping bending or swaging.

1018 cold rolled steel flat bars have a smooth dark grey oiled surface with sharp defined edges and accurate dimensions throughout. Steel cold rolled flat bar 125 x 250. 1 0 125 0 25 in. C1018 cold finish flat is a general purpose low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities and is especially suited for cold forming and bending.

Steel cold rolled flat bar 125 x 500. 1018 cold roll bars have a higher tensile and yield strength compared to hot rolled bars. It is generally available in round rod square bar and rectangle bar. Steel flat cold rolled bar.

Overall cold finished steel flats tend to have higher tensile and yield strength tighter size tolerances and improved smoothness when compared to hot finished steel. C1018 cold finished flat aka crs flat or cold roll flat bar is a steel product with closer dimensional accuracy tolerances and smoother surface finish than hot rolled bar. Alloy 1018 is the most commonly available cold rolled steel. 1018 cold roll steel flat bar.

Cold finished steel also has a smoother and more fragile finish when compared to hot rolled meaning that transportation and storage of the metal type must happen with extra care. Price per inch details.
