Description

Free-machining grade 1018 steel tube belongs to the world’s most widely used grades. It is easy to form, machine, weld, and fabricate alloy 1018 steel tubes. Despite its high strength-to-weight ratio, cold-drawn tubing can be processed to provide a combination of desirable properties, including excellent surface quality, excellent micro-structure uniformity, good machinability, and high tensile strength. As a consequence of rolling in an Assel mill equipped with an end-loss-free unit, seamless mechanical tubing can be produced from solid round billets by rotary piercing. Tubes are then processed through a multiple-pass sizing reducing mill and a rotary sizer. The 1018 Cold Drawn Seamless Tube listed for sale on this page is Pickled & Oiled and offered in a black, unground state. We additionally offer this material with a ground and polished finish. 1018 Steel TubeCold Drawn Seamless Tube is the primary tubular steel used in the manufacturing of Race Cars in the NASCAR racing series.
