1018 Mild Steel
Considered to be the best mild steel for forging.
AISI 1018 mild/low carbon steel has excellent weldability and produces a uniform and harder case and it is considered as the best steel for carburized parts. AISI 1018 steel offers a good balance of toughness, strength and ductility. Provided with higher mechanical properties, AISI 1018 cold rolled carbon steel also includes improved machining characteristics and Brinell hardness. Specific manufacturing controls are used for c1018 steel surface preparation, chemical composition, rolling and heating processes. All these processes develop a supreme quality product that are suited to fabrication processes such as welding, forging, drilling, machining, cold drawing and heat treating.
