Fabrication and Heat Treatment
- Machinability
AISI 1018 carbon steel is rated at 62% of AISI 1112 carbon steel. Machining can provide this alloy with a good finish and continuous and hard chips. The alloy can be processed under all conditions.
- Forming
It is easy to form this grade of carbon steel under annealing conditions.
- Welding
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be welded using most conventional methods, such as gas, acetylene oxide, resistance and submerged fusion welding.
- Heat treatment
This Grade can be surface hardened to Rc 42, but only in thin sections. If the thicker part exceeds 4 in. , You can get Rc 28-30.
- Forging
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be forged in the range of 996-1260°C (1825-2300°F).
- Thermal processing
AISI 1018 carbon steel can be easily hot processed.
- Cold working
The cold working of AISI 1018 carbon steel will affect the hardness and mechanical properties. Intermediate annealing must be performed to overcome the alloy’s tendency to work hardening.
- Annealing
The alloy can be fully annealed by soaking at 899°C (1650°F) and then cooling in the furnace. Process annealing can be carried out at a temperature of 649°C (1200°F).
Applications
AISI 1018 carbon steel is commonly used in high-volume screw machine parts applications. We can also find this alloy in applications as shafts, spindles, pins, rods, sprocket assemblies.
