Fabrication and Heat Treatment

Machinability

AISI 1018 carbon steel is rated at 62% of AISI 1112 carbon steel. Machining provides this alloy with a fine finish, with continuous and hard chips. It is possible to machine this alloy in all conditions.

Forming

It is easy to form AISI 1018 carbon steel in the annealed condition.

Welding

AISI 1018 carbon steel can be welded using most of the conventional methods such as gas, oxyacetylene, resistance, and submerged melt welding.

Heat Treatment

AISI 1018 carbon steel can be case hardened to Rc 42, but only in thin sections. In case of thicker sections of over 4 in., Rc 28-30 can be obtained.

Forging

Forging of AISI 1018 carbon steel can take place in the range of 996-1260°C (1825-2300°F).

Hot Working

AISI 1018 carbon steel can be easily hot worked.

Cold Working

Cold working AISI 1018 carbon steel will affect the hardness and mechanical properties. Intermediate annealing has to be performed to overcome the alloy’s tendency to work harden.

Annealing

Complete annealing of this alloy can be achieved by soaking at 899°C (1650°F) followed by furnace cooling. Process annealing can be done at 649°C (1200°F).

Applications

AISI 1018 carbon steel is commonly used in high volume screw machine parts applications. The other applications of this alloy are as follows:

Shafts

Spindles

Pins

Rods

Sprocket assemblies.
