1018 Cold Rolled Steel Rockwell Hardness

Since most of the 1018 carbon steel is produced by cold drawing this cold rolled steel is called c1018 1018 cold rolled steel.

1018 cold rolled steel rockwell hardness.

Cold drawing increases tensile and yield strength but decreases ductility. It is widely available in cold finished rounds squares flat bar and hexagons.

It is usually used as carburized steel. 135 138 142 145 149 153 157 162 168. Comparative ease of machining. Rockwell hardness of steel 1018 ranges from 71 to 78 converted from brinell hardness.

Sae aisi 1018 steel is one of the commonly used low carbon steels. Annealing the aisi 1018 mild low carbon steel is heated at 870 c 910 c and allowed to cool in a furnace. Annealed cold drawn. In this process oversize hot rolled bars which have been cleaned of scale are drawn through dies to the required size.

1018 is a free machining grade and is among the most commonly available grades in the world. The difference from 71 to 78 is caused by manufacturing metods and or purity of the alloy. Aisi c1018 steel 1018 crs has good weldability surface hardening quality higher mechanical properties and. Grinding cracks are reduced when aisi 1018 mild low carbon steel is tempered.

Choose from our selection of cold rolled steel including low carbon steel sheets and bars low carbon steel rods and discs and more. Hot rolled cold drawn annealed cold drawn. Hardness rockwell b. Annealed cold drawn annealed cold drawn.

Chemically it is very similar to a36 hot rolled steel but the cold rolling process creates a better surface finish and better properties. Despite its unimpressive mechanical properties the alloy is easily formed machined welded and fabricated. This process has little or no effect on hardness. Cold drawing also increases torsional strength surface hardness and wear resistance.
