Product Induction
High-quality low-carbon hot-rolled steel coils that comply with SAE J403 and ASTM A29/A29M standards. SAE 1012 and SAE 1018 are the most widely used grades in low-carbon steel production. They offer excellent formability and weldability, along with consistent mechanical properties, and are widely used in general engineering, construction, and manufacturing applications worldwide.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between SAE1012 and SAE1018? Which one should I choose?
A:SAE1012 has a carbon content of 0.10–0.15%, making it softer and more ductile. SAE1018 has a carbon content of 0.15–0.20% and a higher manganese content, which increases strength by 20–30% while maintaining good formability.
For applications requiring deep drawing, complex bending, or maximum cold working, choose SAE1012. For structural components, machined parts, or applications requiring higher strength, choose SAE1018. Both steels offer excellent weldability.
Q: What are the thickness and width ranges of your stock?
Standard Stock: Thicknesses range from 1.5 mm to 12.0 mm, and widths from 600 mm to 2,000 mm. Common specifications such as 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm, 6.0 mm, and 8.0 mm are always in stock and available for immediate shipment. Custom thicknesses ranging from 1.2 mm to 25.0 mm can be ordered directly from the factory.
Q: Do you offer sheet metal cutting-to-length services?
A: We have laser cutting machines and offer comprehensive cutting-to-length services. The length range is 500 mm to 12,000 mm, with a standard tolerance of ±1.0 mm or a precision tolerance of ±0.5 mm.
