Cold Rolled Steel Flat Bar

1018 is a low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities.

Cold rolled steel flat bar.

Typically cold finished metal is used in parts that require crimping bending or swaging. 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. 1018 cold rolled steel flat bars or flat stock are an excellent candidate for most processing techniques. Steel flat cold rolled bar.

It has a good combination of all of the typical traits of steel strength some ductility and comparative ease of machining. It is generally available in round rod square bar and rectangle bar. Price per inch details. 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.
