    1018 steel has the following key properties: - Carbon content of 0.15-0.20% and other alloying elements including 0.60-0.90% manganese. - Excellent forgeability and weldability with reasonably good cold formability. Strength increases with higher carbon. - Common heat treating practices include normalizing at 925°C, annealing at 885°C, and carburizing to add a hard surface layer. - Microstructures depend on heat treatment but typically include ferrite, pearlite, martensite, bainite, and carbides depending on the process.

    The document discusses the composition, characteristics, heat treating practices, microstructures, and mechanical properties of 1018 carbon steel.

    Normalizing, annealing, hardening through carburizing or carbonitriding, and tempering are some of the heat treating practices described for 1018 steel.

    Microstructures shown for carburized 1018 steel include ferrite and pearlite, wholly pearlitic structures, thin films of carbide outlining prior austenite grain boundaries, and surface layers of carbide.

    Characteristics.
    Excellent forgeability.
    reasonahly good cold formability, and excellent vveldability. As carbon content increases. strength also
    increases, accompanied
    by a small decrease in cold formability.
    Machinability is relatively poor compared with the I100 and 1200 grades. The
    slightly higher manganese (compared with 1017) provides a slight increase
    in strength in the nomralized or annealed condition. Higher manganese also
    provides for a mild increase of hardenability
    for case hardened parts
