What is ASTM A1018?
ASTM A1018 is a Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, Heavy-Thickness Coils, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Commercial, Drawing, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy, and High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved FormabilityCategory
Sheet and Strip CoilsScope
This specification covers hot-rolled, heavy-thickness coils beyond the size limits of Specification A 1011/A 1011M.Ok let's start with ASTM A1018 chemical composition.

Reduction of Area (min. %)
Not Required.Learn more about reduction of area.
Density
7800 - 8000 kg/m3 (around 7.9 g/cm3 or 0.285 lb/in3).Learn more about density.
Elastic Modulus
190 GPa (27557 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
0.27 – 0.30.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A1018 currently ranks 53 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 52 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.

Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. ASTM A1018 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
