2-1/4 X 25-1/2" Hex Cold Rolled Steel Bar 1018 Will cut to smaller length

Description

Will cut if you need a smaller piece message me and I'll quote you a price.
C1018 is a general purpose low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. It has a higher manganese content than certain other low carbon grades, such as 1020. With higher manganese, 1018 is better steel for carburized parts, since it produces a harder and more uniform case. It also has higher mechanical properties and better machinability due to the cold drawing process. Most 1018 is produced by cold drawing. In this process, oversize hot rolled bars, which have been cleaned of scale, are drawn through dies to the required size. Cold drawing increases tensile and yield strength but decreases ductility. Cold drawing also increases torsional strength, surface hardness and wear resistance. Due to size limitations of the cold drawing process, large diameter bars are generally turned and polished, the hot roll rounds usually machine turned, rather than drawn, then abrasively polished. C1018, available in rounds, flats, squares and hexagons, has a relatively large size selection.
1018 is among the most commonly available grades available in the world. It is widely available in cold finished rounds, squares, flat bar and hexagons and is easily formed, machined, welded and fabricated. Due to its higher Mn content, it can, in thin sections, be hardened to Rc 42.
Applications
The alloy is a free machining grade that is often employed in high volume screw machine parts applications. It is commonly employed in shafts, spindles, pins, rods, sprocket assemblies and an incredibly wide variety of component parts.
Machinability: 1018 is rated at 62% of 1112 carbon steel. The alloy can be easily brought to a fine finish, its chips are continuous and hard and it can be machined in all conditions.
Forming: 1018 can be easily formed in the annealed condition.
Welding: 1018 has been successfully welded using most all the common practices including gas, resistance, oxyacetylene, and submerged melt welding.
Heat Treatment: 1018 can, in thin sections, be case hardened to Rc 42. In thicker sections, over 4", Rc 28-30 can be obtained.
