Considerations

What engineers should know.

  • 1018 cold-rolled is the workhorse low-carbon steel — predictable machining and good weldability.

  • Surface protection (oil, paint, plating) coordinated through outside processors when required.

Applications

Typical applications.

  • Industrial brackets
  • Fixturing components
  • Mechanical hardware

Finishing

Surface finishing options.

Plating, paint, or oil coordinated through qualified outside processors.
