When it comes to composition, Carbon Steel AISI 1018 Bars and Rods contain about 0.15–0.20% carbon, 0.60–0.90% manganese, with the rest being iron. This blend gives it moderate tensile strength, typically between 440 to 470 MPa, along with impressive ductility and toughness. AISI 1018 also boasts good surface hardness and can be carburized to enhance wear resistance while keeping a tough core. Thanks to its low carbon content, it’s easy to weld and machine, making it an excellent choice for precision parts and components that demand dimensional accuracy and a clean finish.
