1018 Steel Rectangle Bar Advantages
Cold rolled 1018 low carbon rectangle steel bar stock is very similar to hot rolled steel, except that it contains less carbon, manganese, and fewer impurities. The toughness, ductility, and surface hardening characteristics of 1018 steel make it well-suited for machining purposes, especially when cold rolled. Other crucial benefits that 1018 steel flat bar provides:
Great welding characteristics
Increased weldability
Good case hardening
Good balance of strength, toughness, and ductility
1018 Rectangular Steel Bar Stock Applications
Low carbon 1018 rectangle steel bar stock is a preferred material for industrial applications throughout the world. Some of these applications include:
Hot rolled rectangular steel bar maintains excellent mechanical properties and is simple to fabricate through conventional methods including welding, hot forming and mild cold forming. It is also characterized by its unique radius corners, compared to the sharp corners of cold rolled steel.
Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar Applications
Hot rolled steel rectangular bar is used in numerous types of industrial applications, including:
Hot Rolled pickled and oiled steel (P&O), is a carbon steel that has had the 'scale', that typically coats the steel after being formed, removed through the process of an acid bath. In order to prevent surface rust from forming after the process, the hot rolled steel is coated in an oil. The process of the acid bath is the 'pickling'.
Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled Rectangular Bar Benefits
Hot rolled P&O rectangle steel bar stock is characterized by its unique radius corners and softer, more pliable finish. The specific advantages associated with hot rolled pickled and oiled rectangle steel bar include:
Rapid forming speed
Undamaged coating
Increased yield
Can be made into of cross-section forms
Hot Rolled P&O Rectangular Steel Bar Applications
Hot rolled pickled and oiled rectangle steel bar stock provides several distinct advantages for industries throughout the world. Some of the main applications include:
Base plates
Gussets
Liners
Rack systems
Construction equipment
