1018 Carbon Steel Round Rod, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Cold Finished Temper, ASTM A108, 1 Diameter, 12 Length

I did not actually end up using this rod. However, it was shipped exactly as described. Definitely very hard carbon steel, in the shape of a rod. Very challenging to cut; I used a cutoff wheel on a Dremel tool and it worked with some minor frustration. If, in the future, I am in the market for another carbon steel rod available in small quantities on Amazon Prime, I will definitely consider this rod.

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

Well, its round, about a foot long and the ends arent quite square, but its almost exactly what is described. Im down rating this because it has a 4 inch long i wide UPC label stuck to the working surface of the rod. I need to slide close tolerance bearings onto this rod and Ive spent the last 30 minutes trying to scrape the label off without scratching the surface. I would be willing to pay twice the price if I could be certain that they were not going to put stickers on.

decent deal didnt have to take time off work to go to the metal store

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

Came on time and proper dimensions

This review is for steel bar - 1 inch diameter and 12 inches long. I am using this as a lock shaft to replace the chain in use now. I will weld a top (think nail head) on this bar and drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom for the lock.

The 5 metal rods were delivered as specified. They were in excellent condition. They were used in a Science project to test how fast heat travels through different materials. Highly recommended. Ed perez

I got the 1 inch diameter, 24 inch long 1018 carbon steel round rod. It measured just a hair over 24 inches long. And according to my calipers, its slightly over 0.999 in diameter. Perfect size. It does have a large UPC label, but unlike a previous review, the label was fairly easy to peel off. Using just my fingernail, I peeled it off mostly in one piece. There was some minor sticky residue and a shred of torn label left over, but I sprayed a little WD-40 on there and wiped it right off with a paper towel. It took about 2 minutes to get all traces of the label off with no damage to the bar. (This was in my freezing cold basement shop. I bet it would peel off easier if it was warm.)

Im using this round stock for trailer axles.It is good quality and best priced.
