    I purchased the 1 inch diameter by 72 inches in length. I was so afraid to buy this without really knowing the size but it turned out to be perfect. I was missing a bar for my smith machine and I finally figured it out. I’m so happy with this purchase. The shipping also great it was very fast.

    This bar is great quality and the price was right. the finish on the bar was better than I expected it to be.

    I was looking at my small cnc lathe , and a brilliant idea came over me like bed sheets fresh out of the dryer. All i needed was some 3/4 steel rod , preferably 1018 , something affordable and prone to good finishes with carbide inserts.. Amazon had no 3/4 rod through prime , thats when I found this 1 with next day prime delivery.. excellent rod.. the end

    It’s unfortunate I didn’t put the dial indicator on it when it came last week. It easily measures close to an 1-1/16th. I received the 1” pillow block bearings, and was shocked when the shaft wasn’t even close. I’ll have to find a section of 1” shaft locally. Packaging was excellent and it arrived quickly just wrong size.

    I used this to make a laid-back bicycle seat post. I bent it and then make vertical supports that went down to the frame to form a triangle. I wanted a lower seat and moved back to provide enough leg room. I weigh in at about 400lbs and it has worked wonderfully!

    Well its a steel rod. I use this to make rings for my chain mail projects.

    Delivered very quickly and tolerance seems good. Using for drive shaft for a project and this fits the gear and should do the trick.

    Rods were individually packed in plastic tubes. No rust, and they were straight. What more would you want? Welded nice with a basic flux gun.

The 1018 carbon steel round rod has been cold finished, has an unpolished (mill) surface, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM A108 specifications, and has a standard tolerance. The 1018 carbon steel grade has low carbon content for a balance of strength, machinability, formability, and weldability. This material can be heat treated for higher hardness. The rod has been cold finished, a process of removing the outer layer to achieve the specified dimensions.

Steel is an iron alloy with carbon and other elements that modify the steel to achieve specific properties. In general, steels with higher carbon content have greater strength, hardness, and wear resistance, while those with lower carbon content have more formability, weldability, and toughness. Carbon steels, which include most AISI-SAE grades in the 1000 range, are classified by their level of carbon content as low (below 0.3%), medium (0.3% to 0.6%) and high (0.6% and above). Alloy steels, which include AISI-SAE grades in the 1300 and 4000 ranges and above, incorporate elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel to modify properties like machinability and corrosion resistance. Tool steels, which include most grades with a letter and number grade designation, have high carbide content for wear resistance, high hardness, and the ability to hold a cutting edge. Some tool steels are designed to resist deformation when used in elevated temperatures.

Tensile strength, used to indicate a material’s overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material"s ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded.
