Carbon steel is one of the most widely used materials and a very effective grade for a wide range of applications. All Fox Metals carbon grades are fully certified.
1018 Hot Rolled & Forged Carbon Bar
AISI 1018 steel round bar. A versatile, multipurpose steel grade with low carbon levels that responds well to case hardening and also carburizing with its high manganese composition. 1018 is ideal for welding and other fabrication processes.
Sizes Available
Hot Rolled: 3” OD to 11.5” OD
Forged: 12” OD to 20” OD
Applications:
- Gears
- Pinions
- Ratchets
- Oil tool slips
- Liners
- Crane wheels
- Shafting
1040/1045 Hot Rolled & Forged Carbon Bar
AISI 1045 steel round bar. A steel grade with higher carbon that responds well to flame hardening for increased strength. 1045 can also be heat treated to achieve high mechanical properties. Due to the increased carbon levels, weld ability is limited.
Sizes Available
Hot Rolled: 3” OD to 11” OD
Forged: 12” OD to 20” OD
Applications:
- Oilfield wellhead components
- Shafting
- Pinions
- Gears
- Forming dies
- Oilfield wear plates
