• 1010/A-36/1018 - This grade is a great choice for fabrication applications. The material has great bending/cold forming and welding attributes. A-36 is considered a special bar quality material known for excellent mechanical properties. Applications include vehicle use for, shafts, axles. and gearing.
• 1117 - 1117 offers better machining than 1018. It has a strong ductile core and hardness factors that are uniform and deep.

Medium Carbon

• 1040/1045 - A medium carbon steel. It is commonly good for shafting. Welding properties are fair. Not commonly used for machining.
• 1141/1444 - A medium carbon that responds well to heat treating to attain precise hardness. Great where high strength and wear resistance is required. The material machines very well and features a more uniform and deeper surface hardness that compares favorably to regular carbon steel. The steel works very well for high production machines.
