CF-1018 steel round bar is manufactured from AISI/SAE 1018 low-carbon steel and produced in a cold-finished (cold drawn) condition for improved surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and consistency. The 2-7/8″ diameter round bar offers excellent machinability and weldability, making it well suited for precision components and general industrial use. Cold finishing enhances straightness and tolerance control compared to hot-rolled material, reducing the need for secondary operations.
Applications:
CF-1018 steel round bar is commonly used in structural, mechanical, and industrial applications, including:
• Shafts, pins, and axles
• Machined parts and tooling blanks
• Bushings, spacers, and collars
• Fixtures, jigs, and machine components
• Structural supports and fabricated assemblies
• General manufacturing, maintenance, and repair work
Advantages:
• Cold finished accuracy: Improved tolerances and smooth surface finish
• Excellent machinability: Ideal for turning, milling, drilling, and threading
• Weldable and formable: Suitable for fabrication and structural applications
• Consistent mechanical properties: Reliable performance for general-purpose use
• Versatile material: Can be cut to length, machined, or further processed as needed
Summary:
The 2-7/8″ CF-1018 steel round bar is a versatile, cold-finished carbon steel product designed for machining, fabrication, and general industrial applications. Its dimensional consistency, smooth finish, and balanced strength make it an excellent choice for shafts, machined components, and structural parts where precision and reliability are required.
