Metric Carbon Steel Round Bar S235JR / 1018 T&G
Metric Carbon Steel Round Bar S235JR 1018 T&G is a widely used material in construction and manufacturing thanks to its well-balanced properties and affordability. Let’s break down what this seemingly complex code signifies:
- Metric: This indicates the bar’s dimensions are measured in millimeters, following the metric system.
- Carbon Steel: The core material is steel with a low carbon content, making it a versatile and cost-effective choice.
- S235JR: This refers to a European standard (EN 10025) for structural steel. The S235 designation specifies a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa, suitable for general structural applications. The JR designation signifies suitability for welding at low service temperatures.
- 1018: This is a common American designation (AISI 1018) for low-carbon steel with a specific chemical composition, ensuring consistent material properties.
- T&G: This stands for “Turned and Ground.” This finishing process results in a smooth and accurate surface finish, ideal for applications requiring close tolerances.
Due to its balance of strength, weldability, and machinability, Metric Carbon Steel Round Bar S235JR 1018 T&G finds use in a vast array of projects. Common applications include:
- Machine components: Shafts, pins, axles, and other machined parts benefit from its machinability and good strength.
- Structural elements: Frames, braces, and supports can be constructed using this steel, especially when a smooth surface finish is desired.
- Hardware: Bolts, nuts, and other fasteners can be machined from this versatile material.
- Repair and maintenance: The availability in various diameters makes it suitable for replacing worn or broken round stock.
Metric carbon steel round bar 1018 is a turned and ground precision low carbon steel, and is the most widely used. It is easily workable and has good machinability and is well suited for cold forming and bending. Commonly used in machinery parts, special bolts, tie rods, chain pulls and studs.
