Hemi Metals is a trusted manufacturing partner right here in Hamilton, dedicated to providing industrial and trade customers with high-quality steel solutions. We take pride in our reliable supply of Carbon Steel AISI 1018 bars and rods, known for their excellent combination of workability and strength. Our commitment is to deliver not just a product, but consistent performance and local expertise, ensuring your projects are built on a foundation of dependable New Zealand-made materials.
This grade is a low-carbon steel, primarily composed of iron with small, balanced amounts of manganese and carbon. This specific composition gives AISI 1018 its characteristic versatility, offering good ductility and toughness. It responds very well to machining and welding, making it a favourite for fabrication. While not as strong as higher-carbon steels, it provides a solid foundation for parts that require forming and finishing without being excessively hard or brittle.
