The 1018 Low Carbon Steel Round Rod is a versatile material commonly used in numerous industries such as hardware, automotive, and hobbyists due to its affordability, ease of machinability, and corrosion resistance properties. With an diameter of 1/8 and a length of 6' , it is ideal for projects requiring small dimensions or multiple cuts without losing material. The 1018 steel composition makes it capable of being cold drawn or turned in applications that require precise tolerances. It can be heat treated to increase its hardness, allowing it to withstand more abrasion and impact while maintaining a uniform shape. As a result, the low carbon content of this rod minimizes its chances of forming cracks and defects during fabrication processes such as sawing or bending. Therefore, 1018 Low Carbon Steel Round Rod presents an affordable yet strong option for those seeking a reliable material that combines ease of manufacture, resistance to corrosion, and durability for multiple applications within various industries.
