About

CNC Steel 1018 is a mild low-carbon, general-purpose steel known for its versatility and machinability. It offers good balance between strength, ductility, and toughness, making it ideal for precision CNC machining. With a carbon content of around 0.18%, it exhibits excellent welding, bending, and forming capabilities. It has a smooth surface finish, good wear resistance, and is easy to machine or cut. This steel can be case-hardened for added durability, making it suitable for shafts, axles, gears, pins, and structural components. It is commonly used in both commercial and industrial applications.
