View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

AISI 1018 is a carbon steel with a relatively high manganese content (0.60-0.90%) which provides increased hardenability in all applications and increased hardness and strength in the core of carburized parts and in uncarburized uses. AISI 1018 combines good machinability, good workability and good weldability.
