About AISI/SAE C1018 Low Carbon Flat Ground Stock
C1018 Flat Ground Stock is fine-grained, vacuum-degassed carbon steel. It is easily machined, has excellent weldability, and responds uniformly to case hardening. The manganese content provides greater strength and hardness compared to many other carbon steels. It is often used in its natural state for such applications as a back-up
plate, stripper plates, punch pads, and machine parts. As a case-hardened material, it is used for jigs, fixtures, cams, and patterns.
