SAE 1018 / 1020 Cold Drawn Steel
SAE 1018 / 1020 Cold Drawn Steel is supplied for mechanical engineering and serial production applications where the grade, delivery condition, dimensional tolerance and traceability must be specified together. Erkal Haddecilik supplies cut-to-length steel from Bursa subject to stock.
Key properties
- SAE 1018 and SAE 1020 remain separate ordered grades.
- Cold drawing describes processing, not a universal tolerance or strength.
Typical applications
- Drawing-specified SAE 1018 or SAE 1020 components prepared for machining.
- Pins and shafts only where the drawing specifies the grade and delivery condition.
SAE 1018 / 1020 cold-drawn steel: designation and ordering
SAE 1018 and SAE 1020 are separate grade designations. Cold drawing describes the manufacturing condition and does not merge their acceptance requirements. Specify which grade the drawing requires instead of using the pair as a single interchangeable name.
For shafting or general machined parts, identify the grade, drawn condition, section, tolerance, straightness and cut length required by the order.
Supply and cutting enquiries from Bursa
Erkal Haddecilik handles material and cut-to-length enquiries from Bursa/Nilüfer for projects in Türkiye. Send the grade specification, dimensions, quantity and delivery location; availability, cutting details, shipment and timing are confirmed in the quotation, not guaranteed by this page.

Technical selection note
Steel grades must not be considered exact equivalents based on similar names alone. Chemical composition, mechanical properties, product standard, delivery condition and heat treatment requirements must be verified against the certificate.
The public SAE J403 scope identifies the carbon-steel designation system; its paid chemistry tables were not reviewed. Ovako is used only for the drawn-bar process, not grade-specific mechanical approval.
