AISI/SAE 1018 Round Steel Bar

AISI 1018 carbon steel bar has a chemical composition of carbon, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon. AISI 1018 carbon steel is a free machining grade that is the most commonly available grade around the world.

Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements, however, they often contain manganese. The maximum manganese, silicon and copper content should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.

Types of carbon steel and their properties

Carbon steel can be classified into three categories according to its carbon content: low-carbon steel (or mild-carbon steel), medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel . Their carbon content, microstructure and properties compare as follows:

Carbon content (wt.%)	Microstructure	Properties	Examples
Low-carbon steel	< 0.25	Ferrite, pearlite	Low hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldability	AISI 304, ASTM A815, AISI 316L
Medium-carbon steel	0.25 – 0.60	Martensite	Low hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughness	AISI 409, ASTM A29, SCM435
High-carbon steel	0.60 – 1.25	Pearlite	High hardness, strength, low ductility	AISI 440C, EN 10088-3

AISI/SAE
1018 Round Steel Bar Description

1018
cold rolled steel bar is made of a general-purpose, low-carbon steel with
good case hardening qualities. It is especially suited to cold
forming and bending operations. 1018 steel is suitable for parts
that require cold forming such as crimping, swaging, or bending. 1018 steel is mild steel with
medium-low carbon content. AISI 1018 carbon steel is a free machining grade
that is the most commonly available grade around the world. Although its
mechanical properties are not very unique, it still can be easily formed, machined,
welded and fabricated.
