🟦 Product Overview

Low Carbon Steel Bars—represented by 1018, 1025, and A36—are the most widely used mild steel materials for:

• General engineering
• Structural components
• Machining and fabrication
• Automotive and mechanical parts

These grades offer:

• Excellent weldability
• Good machinability
• High ductility
• Stable mechanical performance
• Cost‑effective material choice

Although 1018, 1025, and A36 have slight differences in carbon content and strength, they belong to the same mild steel family and serve similar applications.

🟦 Standards

• ASTM A29 (1018 / 1025)
• ASTM A36 (structural steel)
• ASTM A108 (cold‑finished bars)
• EN / DIN equivalents available

🟦 Grades Included

• 1018 — Low carbon, excellent machinability
• 1025 — Slightly higher carbon, improved strength
