1518 Round Bar: Material Profile
1518 contains more manganese than standard 10XX grades, supporting deeper hardening and stronger cores after carburizing.
Match the carburizing cycle, case depth, core properties, and bar condition to the finished-part design.
Purchase to the controlling ASTM, SAE, AMS, or customer specification. Section size, supply condition, mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, and heat/lot traceability can change the acceptable material and processing route.
Key Characteristics
- Good case-hardening response
- Improved core strength
- Good forging characteristics
- Good machinability before hardening
Common Applications
- Gears and pinions
- Shafts and bushings
- Forged automotive parts
- Wear-resistant machine components
Specification Requirements
Identify the governing specification and revision, product form, section size, condition, mechanical properties, testing, and certification requirements. The purchase specification and material certification govern the order.
Request Pricing for 1518 Round Bar
We quote 1518 for manufacturers and commercial buyers. Requirements of 3,000–10,000 lb are welcome, along with multi-ton and truckload programs.
We are not a retail metal store. Small personal-use, typical single-bar, and cut-piece orders are generally not a fit. The material field is prefilled and remains editable; add the specification, size, condition, total weight, processing, testing, required date, and ship-to location.
