SERVICE STEEL OFFERS THE CARBON STEEL BARS THAT YOU NEED
Service Steel stocks cold finished (CF) 1018 carbon steel bars in flat, square, and round shapes. Flats are available in thicknesses from 3/16-inch to 2-inch and widths of 1-1/2-inch to 12-inch. Squares are stocked in sizes from 3/16-inch to 2-inch and rounds in diameters from 3/16-inch to 9-inch. Other sizes are available for order as well.
CARBON STEEL BARS
Cold finished bars and rounds are produced from special bar quality hot rolled bars by cold drawing, turning and polishing, grinding, or by a combination of these methods. The required shape, size, surface finish and tolerances of the bar or round determine the process used.
Overall, cold finishing reduces the cross-sectional area of the hot rolled bar. CF steel bars and rounds are chosen for their more accurate size and shape, smooth surface, straightness, increased yield and tensile strengths, and machinability. Square and rectangular bars are true and square and have well-defined edges and corners.
Though more expensive that hot rolled steel bars, cold finished bars are easy to form, weld, machine, and fabricate; can be welded without pre-heating or post-heating; and are suitable for cold forming.
About 1018 Carbon Steel Bars
- Low carbon, medium manganese content.
- Good hardening properties, fair machinability.
- Readily brazed and welded.
- Especially suited to cold forming and bending operations.
- Suitable for parts that require cold forming (such as crimping, swaging, or bending).
- Because of its high workability and machinability, 1018 steel is useful for creating a number of high-volume machine parts, including fasteners, anchor bolts, pins, rods, structural parts, gears, ratchets, and tool holders.

Why Service Steel
The Service Steel Company, a steel tube, pipe, and bar service center, was organized in Detroit by Herbert B. Van Pelt and his son, Donald C. Van Pelt in 1920, and was headquartered at Rivard and Maple Streets tucked in between Eastern Market and Lafayette Park.
Through the years, Service Steel has remained solid under the ownership and direction of the Van Pelt family – 100 years after its founding.
