Its low carbon content (0.15-0.20%) makes it ideal for applications requiring ease of machining and welding. Our advanced CNC machining capabilities enable us to produce 1018 steel parts with tight tolerances of ±0.005mm and excellent surface finishes. We offer various surface treatment options including polishing, black oxide coating, and plating to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. 1018 steel is particularly suitable for parts that require subsequent heat treatment, carburizing, or case hardening processes. We provide comprehensive manufacturing services from prototype development through high-volume production. Our engineering team offers expert DFM (Design for Manufacturing) support to optimize your designs for 1018 steel machining, ensuring cost-effective production without compromising quality. With our China factory and fast delivery capabilities, we can meet your urgent production needs while maintaining competitive pricing. ## Technical Specifications | Material Grade | 1018 Low Carbon Steel (UNS G10180) | Process | CNC Milling, CNC Turning, 5-Axis Machining | Tolerance | ±0.005mm (±0.0002") | Surface Finish | Polished (Ra 1.6), Black Oxide, Zinc Plated | Size Range | Up to 500mm diameter | Lead Time | 5-10 days (standard), 3-5 days (express) | MOQ | 10 pieces (prototypes), 100 pieces (production) | Certifications | ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 14001 ## 1018 Steel Properties ### Excellent Machinability 1018 steel offers superior machinability with a machinability rating of 78% of B1112.

Our minimum order quantity is 10 pieces for prototypes and 100 pieces for production runs. We can accommodate lower quantities for development projects with appropriate setup considerations. ### What is the typical lead time? Standard lead time is 5-10 days for 1018 steel CNC machined parts. Express service with 3-5 day turnaround is available for urgent projects. Lead times may vary based on complexity and quantity. ### Can 1018 steel be heat treated? Yes, 1018 steel can be case hardened through carburizing or nitriding processes to increase surface hardness while maintaining a ductile core. It is not typically through-hardened due to its low carbon content. ### What surface finishes are available? We offer polished finishes (Ra 1.6 or better), black oxide coating for corrosion resistance and appearance, zinc plating, and various other surface treatments based on your application requirements. ### How does 1018 steel compare to 1045 steel? 1018 steel has lower carbon content (0.15-0.20%) compared to 1045 steel (0.43-0.50%), making 1018 more machinable and weldable but with lower strength and hardness. 1018 is ideal for parts requiring good machinability, while 1045 is better for higher strength applications. ## Related Products [1045 Steel Precision Components] ### 1045 Steel Precision Components Medium carbon steel with higher strength [Learn More → ](1045-steel-precision-components) [4140 Alloy Steel Parts] ### 4140 Alloy Steel Parts Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel [Learn More → ](4140-alloy-steel-parts) [300M Ultra-High Strength Steel] ### 300M Ultra-High Strength Steel Precision CNC services for all steel grades [Learn More → ](300m-ultra-high-strength-steel) [Heat Treated Steel Components] ### Heat Treated Steel Components Heat treated steel for enhanced properties [Learn More → ](heat-treated-steel-components) ## Manufacturing Capabilities 50+ CNC Machines ±0.005mm Precision Tolerance 3-5 Days Delivery 15+ Years Experience ## Ready to Get Started?
