Carbon Steel AISI 1018 is a low-carbon steel that contains around 0.14–0.20% carbon and 0.60–0.90% manganese, with very low levels of phosphorus and sulfur. This well-balanced composition results in good strength, ductility, and toughness. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength of approximately 440–480 MPa and a yield strength of about 370 MPa. The material is known for its excellent machinability, good weldability, and favorable response to cold working. It can also be carburized to enhance surface hardness while maintaining a tough and ductile core.
